Before Lyrics

I dreamed of Louisiana
And a night in Lafayette
We had breakfast with Susanna
We were young and wild and leftwhat's different here
Than in that dream and in reality
Is we weren't afraid to fail in love
And we all believed in the dream
Before, beforeI dreamed of Manhattan
In a time before this war
It was snowing down on Bleeker Street
It was before you were a starwhat's different here
Than in that dream and in reality
Is we weren't afraid to fail in love
And we all believed in the dream
Before, beforeNow everything is twilight
It?s a time too dark to see
It?s fear of being what we were
And pondering the dreamThen I dreamed of Texas

And the Gulf Coast shores
I dreamed of who we used to be
And the hope we had beforewhat's different here
Than in that dream and in reality
Is we weren't afraid to fail in love
And we all believed in the dream
Before, before
