I Loved You Before I Knew Your Name

I felt you in the quiet of my nights

And every wish I made without a light

And every dream I didn't understand

I was reaching out for your hand

I felt you in the quiet of my nights

And every wish I made without a light

And every dream I didn't understand

I was reaching out for your hand

I heard your voice before you spoke to me

And every love song playing secretly

Like fate was writing what I couldn't see

You were already part of me

I didn't know your face or where you'd be

But my heart was already on its knees

Somehow you were calling me the same

Before I ever knew your name

I loved you before I knew your name

Before the rain, before the pain

Before the nights I learned to break

My heart was yours before the flame

I loved you in ways I can't explain

Before the touch, before the flame

If destiny was ever true

I loved you before I knew you

I searched for you in strangers' eyes

In almost loves and goodbyes

Every road that led me astray

Was just teaching me how to stay

I fell apart so many times

Just to learn what real love finds

Every scar was pointing me

To the moment you found me

Every tear, every lonely mile

Was leading me to your smile

Now I know the truth is plain

I was loving you again and again

I loved you before I knew your name

Before the rain, before the pain

Before my heart learned how to break

My soul was yours before the flame

I loved you in ways I can't explain

Before the touch, before the flame

If destiny was ever true

I loved you before I knew you

If I lose you, I lose myself

If I'm alone, I feel it still

Every prayer I ever made

Had your heart beating in the pain

So don't you ever doubt this love
