Before I Died Songtext
von Jim Reeves

No need to say you′re sorry
No need to feel ashamed
If I'm not the one you love
Don′t feel you're to blame

I don't deny it hurts me
And this pain is hard to hide
But at least I lived a little while
Before I died

I lived long enough to know
The sweet thrill of your lips
I knew happiness
Right down to my finger tips


You′ll always be a part of me
Though you can′t be mine
At least I lived a little while
Before I died

Don't ask me to forget you
′Cause you mean too much to me
I couldn't even if I tried
Too many memories

My yesterday′s were happy days
And each memory's locked inside
At least I lived a little while
Before I died

I lived long enough to know
The sweet thrill of your lips
I knew happiness
Right down to my finger tips


You′ll always be a part of me
And though you can't be mine
At least I lived a little while
Before I died
