Where were you when my first love came callin'

My heart kept on fallin' like a stone

Where were you when I left home for college

Traded that first love for knowledge

I've lived in the dark I've refused to forgive

But somehow I knew there was more I could give

Long before you came to me I laid beneath the evergreens

Dreamed this day would come if only I had known

Far beyond the eye could see my soul knew what was best for me

I only had to wait and for that I have faith in love

Who held your hand on your first day to school

Who read to you that night

Who broke your heart for the first time

Did you cry out loud just to know why

Have you lived in the dark or refused to forgive

But somehow just knew there was more you could give

Long before you came to me I laid beneath the evergreens

Dreamed this day would come if only I had known

Far beyond the eye could see my soul knew what was best for me

I only had to wait and for that I have faith in love

Long before you came to me I laid beneath the evergreens

Dreamed this day would come if only I had known

Far beyond the eye could see my soul knew what was best for me

I only had to wait for that I have faith

Long before you said to me you saved my heart and rescued me

I walked this lonely mile now I hold a smile

Far beyond the mission bells long before our fare-thee-well

My dream of finding you has finally come true
