Before I Met You
(Charles Seitz, Joe Lewis & Elmer Rader)

I thought I had seen pretty girls in my life
     But that was before I met you,
I never saw one that I wanted for life.
     But that was before I met you,

cho: I thought I was swinging the world by the tail,
     I thought I could never be blue;
     I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
     But that was before I met you.

I wanted to ramble and always be free
     But that was before I met you,
I said that no woman could ever hold me
     But that was before I met you.

They tell me I must reap just what I have sown,
     But darling, I hope it's not true;
For once I made plans about living alone
     But that was before I met you.
