                          |C#m7    |  
Was there life before this love
                          |B               |Badd2 B
Was there love before this girl I can see
                       |Ab              |
Was there ever love for her before me
        |F#m7      Fmaj7   |Emaj7   Ebm7  |Absus4
And if I look will she look back at me
           |Ab      
Is fantasy enough?

Was there heat before this flame
Were there flames before this fire in my heart
Was I wrong about it from the start
Am I in ecstasy or next to see that fantasy's to blame
Was there life before this love . . . 

If I look up will she look back at me
Is fantasy enough?

                     |C#       |
If this scene is in a dream
                        |Ab/C          |
Then I'm perfect for the part I play
                      |Abm           |
You can count on me to stand and say
|A/Eb          |                |Ebsus4   |Eb    |A/Eb|  |Ebsus4 |Eb  |
"Was there ever life before this wonderful day?"

Was there heat before this flame
Were there flames before this fire in my heart
Was I wrong about it from the start
Am I in ecstasy or next to see that fantasy's to blame

If this dream's within a dream
Then I'll never swoon quite deep enough
No hypnotic trance quite sleep enough . . . 

|A/Eb   |    |Ebsus4  |Eb    |A/Eb   |   |Ebsus4  |   |Eb   | |Eb

If in this sweet dream I'm flying
I will never fly quite high enough
You will hear me crying high above

|A/Eb   |     |Ebsus4   |Eb   

|A/Eb          |                |Ebs4| |Eb|Ab
"Was there ever life before this wonderful love?"
