When  I think of how you know me,
 no doubts no thinking twice.
 When  your smile can be so soothing,
 a familiar paradise.
 When there's  no one else that makes me whole
 I  am never needing more
 I  get this feeling that  I have loved you before
Were  we lovers in an army,
 marching off for Rome.
side  by side in battle,
 did we bravely leave our home?
 Did I hold  you in my arms,
 as you were  taking your last breath?
 Did I shout  to all the gods,
 that I would love you beyond death? Or  more?
I  swear I've loved you before.
 Did  we hide in the dark ages,
 from a vengeful god above?
 Were  our names too unfamiliar,
 to ever speak of love?
 Did I cling  to every moment with you,
 every  parting glance?
An  accidental touch,
 did we ever take the chance for more?
I  know I've loved you before.
 Have  I wandered through the desert?
 Have  I looked to the north star?
 Have  I rode the days and nights  on rails,
 to get  back where you are?
 And  every time I found you
 it's  your eyes I know for sure.
When  I think of how you know me,
 no doubts no thinking twice.
 When  your smile can be so soothing,
 a familiar paradise.
 When there's  no one else that makes me whole.
 I am  never wanting more.
I  get this feeling.
 I know I've loved you before.
 I know I've loved you before
 I've loved you before.
