Back Before the War Songtext

von Reba McEntire

Stacks of paper, my name in bold print /
Yours beside it on this document /
Too many lawyers, too many angry words /
So much we didn't say, so much we never heard /
Do you remember /
When I was all that you were living for /
Back before the war /

Chorus :
Back before the broken vows /
The shattered trust, this empty house /
When nothing really mattered but us /
Back before we climbed too high /
My dreams were yours, aour dreams were mine /
Back before we fell so out of touch /
Back before the war /

Children's laughter trailing down the hall /
Tiny footsteps, God how I miss it all /
It's not as simple as who's right and who's to blame /
How could we fly so high to be shot down in flames /
Do you remember /
When you were all that I was living for /
Back before the war /

Chrous

Stacks of paper, I guess this is where we sign
Strange how your signature so closely matches mine /
I never dreamed our love would ever come to this /
Avoiding each other's eyes still craving your tenderness /
Do you remember /
When love was all that we were living for /
Back before the war /
Back before the war /
