Before We Know It

LETRA

Before We Know It

It's the night before she leaves
She sleeps an unquiet sleep
You reach out to teach her while you still can
You reach out to teach her while you still can
 
Departure fills the air
When your time grows short it's everywhere
In each sad smile
In her restlessness
In the held back tears
In the talking less
 
Tomorrow you'll return
To where you held her days before
Where she said what you now recall
"Before we know it
I'll be going, I'll be going
Before we know it
You'll be walking away alone, away alone
 
No amount of time is
Ever enough when you're dealing with
Long distance love where stations become
Become the best and the worst of places
 
Tomorrow you'll return
To where you held her days before
Where she said what you now recall
Before we know it
I'll be going, I'll be going
Before we know it
You'll be walking away alone, away alone
