A Love Before Time

if the sky opened up for me 
    and the mountains disappeared
if the seas ran dry, turned to dust
    and the sun refused to rise
I would still find my way
    by the light I see in your eyes
the world I know fades away
    but you stay

[as the earth reclaims its due]
    [and the cycle starts anew]
[we'll stay, always]
    in the love that we have shared before time

if the years take away
    every memory that I have
I would still know the way
    that would lead me back to your side

       the north star may die
           but the light that I see in your eyes
       will burn there always
           lit by the love we have shared before time

       [when the forest turns to jade]
           [and the stories that we've made]
       [dissolve away]
           one shining light will still remain

       [when we shed our earthly skin]
           [and when our real life begins]
       [there'll be no shame]
           just the love that we have made before time
