Pete Townshend - Was There Life
HOGARTH
Was there life before this love
Was there love before this girl I can see
Was there ever love for her before me
And if I look will she
Look back at me
Is fantasy
Enough?
Was there heat before this flame
Were there flames before this fire in my heart
Was I wrong about it from the start
Am I in ecstasy
Or next to see
That fantasy
S'to blame
Was there life before this love . . . . . . .
If I look up will she
Look back at me
Is fantasy
Enough?
If this scene is in a dream
Then I'm perfect for the part I play
You can count on me to stand and say
"Was there ever life before this wonderful day?"
Was there heat before this flame
Were there flames before this fire in my heart
Was I wrong about it from the start
Am I in ecstasy
Or next to see
That fantasy
S'to blame
If this dream's within a dream
Then I'll never swoon quite deep enough
No hypnotic trance quite sleep enough . . . .
If in this sweet dream I'm flying
I will never fly quite high enough
You will hear me crying high above
"Was there ever life before this wonderful love?"
