Long Before I Knew You (From The Musical: "Bells Are Ringing") - Petula Clark, Kim Drake And His Orchestra

Dearest, dearest

One thing I know

That everything I feel for you

Started many ages ago

Long before I knew you,

Long before I met you.

I was sure I’d find you someday somehow.

I pictured someone who’d walk and talk

And smile as you do,

And make me feel as you do right now

All that was long before I held you,

Long before I kissed you,

Long before I touched you and felt that glow.

But now you really are here and now at last I know

That long before I knew you I loved you so

Long before I met you,

Long before I knew you.

I was sure I’d find you someday, somehow

I wanted someone who’d walk and talk

And smile as you do,

And make me feel as you do right now

All that was long before I held you,

Long before I kissed you,

Long before I touched you and felt this glow.

But now you really are here and now at last I know

That long before I knew you I loved you so

Long before I knew you
