Just Before

Right here I stand before
You naked in awe
I wonder what this thing that I'm feeling is called
Being in a storm
The river rain beats down
Like a baby covered in motherly touch
Tender and alive
A feeling like I've never known

As I'm watching you undress
Something of me left
A feeling under my skin
I know I won't name
A little highly strung
I fill an empty space
I don't want to break this state just in case
Oh, and this feeling is lost
It hangs on a thread
Fragile and golden

Here nothing is as strong
As the moment just before
Love comes along
Nothing is as pure
As that moment just before

It's as pure as the driven snow
Indian summers they come and go
But I will be true
Right here with you
Loving you up
Happily frozen

Here nothing is as strong
As the moment just before
Love comes along
Nothing is as pure
As that moment just before
Love comes along
Nothing is as strong
As the moment just before
Love comes along
Nothing quite as pure
As that moment just before love
