Before
The Duke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A turn of the tide or the weather
Are things we accept as they come
But since you and I've been together
The change in my heart leaves me numb

I Never Felt This Way Before I met you
You stole my heart and what is more
I let you
I fell in love too often I won't deny

But my heart didn't soften till you came by
When I discovered you between romances
I looked at you and read between your glances
This is one romance I can't ignore

I Never Felt This Way Before.
I Never Felt This Way Before I met you
You stole my heart and what is more
I let you

I fell in love too often I won't deny
But my heart didn't soften till you came by
When I discovered you between romances
I looked at you and read between your glances





This is one romance I can't ignore
I Never Felt This Way Before.
