Skeeter Davis Lyrics
"Before I Met You"

(Charles L. Seitz - Joe Lewis - Elmar Rader)

I thought I had seen handsome men in my time
That was before I met you
I never saw one that I wanted for mine
That was before I met you.

I thought I was standing on top of the world
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you.

I wanted to ramble and always be free
But that was before I met you
I said that no man could ever hold me
But that was before I met you.

I thought I was standing on top of the world
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you.

--- Instrumental ---

They tell me I'll reap just what I have sown
But darling I hope that's not true
For once I made plans about living alone
But that was before I met you.

I thought I was standing on top of the world
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you.

Yes, that was before I met you...
