Lyrics of Before you knew what love was

My love is like fine wine
So i let her breathe
We settle into silence
With the greatest ease
My love's like a chalice
So i lick the bowl
In quiet preparation
For a life time role
But if i slip up
She shakes my tree
By not letting me forget
When she says to me
I was loving you
Before you ever knew what love was

My love reads like poetry
Taken line by line
Though her rhyming meter
Throws me every time
My love is a flower
Of a different breed
And her fertile ground
Waits for my mystic seed
But do i get it
If i lose my way
Soon i do regret it
When i hear her say
I was loving you
Before you ever knew what love was

But do i get it
If i miss a beat
Ioon i do regret it
When she says to me
I was loving you
Before you ever knew what love was
