If I paint the lashes dark
And the eyes more bright
And your lips more scarlet

Ask if it'll all be right
And it's mirror after mirror
No vanities displayed

You're just looking for the face you had
Before the world was made
Before the world was made

Before the world was made

And if I look upon you now

As though I have my view
With the earth beneath your feet
And heaven up above

Would you think me cruel
After everything's been said
You're only looking for the face you had

Before the world was made
Before the world was made
Before the world was made


And if I paint the lashes dark
And your eyes more bright

And your lips more scarlet
Ask if it'll all be right
And it's mirror after mirror

No vanities displayed
I'm just looking for the face you had
Before the world was made

Before the world was made
Before the world was made


Your original face
Before time and space
Your original face

Before time and space
Your original, original face
Before the world was made

Before the world was made
Before the world was made
