(Dan Hill/Keith Stegall/Robin Wiley)
Stacks of paper, my name in bold print
Yours right besides it on this document

Too many lawyers, too many angry words
So much we didn't say, so much we never heard
Do you remember

When I was all that you were living for
Back before the war


Back before the broken vows
The shattered trust, this empty house
When nothing really mattered but us

Back before we climbed too high
My dreams were yours, your dreams were mine
Back before we fell so out of touch

Back before the war

Children's laughter trailing down the hall

Tiny footsteps, God how I miss it all
It's not as simple as who's right and who's to blame
How could we fly so high to be shot down in flames

Do you remember
When you were all that I was living for
Back before the war


Back before the broken vows
The shattered trust, this empty house

When nothing really mattered but us
Back before we climbed too high
My dreams were yours, your dreams were mine

Back before we fell so out of touch
Back before the war


Stacks of paper, I guess this is where we sign
Strange how your signature so closely matches mine
I never dreamed our love would ever come to this

Avoiding each other's eyes still craving your tenderness
Do you remember
When love was all that we were living for

Back before the war
Back before the war
