Before And After

© 2013 Mark Cote

Before I was a muscle car
before you were a fast train
chasing you all around
bring it back again

before we knew how to dance
before we knew how to sing
harmony out of tune
laughing on a swing

(chorus) before
                  before and after
                  after
                  after and before
                  bring it on back
                  bring it on back for more

After the sun went down
after the summer rain
the starlight in your eyes
my heart's a melted flame

after the cloudy days
after all the bitter cold
I still have you around
still have you to hold

before yesterday
after tomorrow
wipe away the tears
wipe away the sorrow

(chorus)
(instrumental)

before yesterday
after tomorrow
wipe away the tears
wipe away the sorrow

(chorus)
