Just Before (I Was Gonna Say I Love You)

(album: Paintings In My Mind - 1990)

And I recall the night
When my heart, was shattered in two
It took me so long
To find my thoughts, express it to you
I'd waited all my life
Thinking love would never come my way
Then right before my eyes
You killed my dreams with what you had to say
And it took me some time to find the words
But I didn't get the chance to be heard, you told me

Just before I was about to say that I need you
Just before I was about to show, my heart was true
You said that you were seeing another love
Someone you'd been dreaming of
All this time I never knew, you told me
Just before, just before, just before
I was gonna say I love you

All in one moment
I lost visions of heaven to be
I said to myself
I was happier being lonely
Cause love is the most pain, I've ever felt
My heart is aching and my soul just melts

And just before I was about to say that I need you
Just before I was about to show, my heart was true
You said that you were seeing another love
Someone you'd been dreaming of
All this time I never knew, you told me
Just before, just before, just before
I was gonna say I love you

And it took me some time to find the words
But I didn't get the chance to be heard, you told me

Just before I was about to say, I need you
Just before I was about to show, my heart was true
You said that you were seeing another love
Someone you'd been dreaming of
All this time I never knew, you told me
Just before, just before, just before
I was gonna say I love you
