John Conlee Before My Time Lyrics

He lied, he cheated till he broke your heart

And you can't count the teardrops you cried

He made you afraid to make a new start

And that's why you've never tried

But that was before my time

And darlin', that's all behind

I'll help you forget in these arms of mine

What happened before my time

You never had someone to love you so strong

That nothing else matters at all

I know you've carried those heartaches too long

And now you're afraid to fall

But that was before my time

And darlin', that's all behind

I'll help you forget in these arms of mine

What happened before my time

I'll help you forget in these arms of mine

What happened before my time
