Before I Die

Verse 1

There's a child in the street tonight

Drowning in the pouring rain

In the cold wind, the lonely light

She cries out

"Must there always be pain?"

Had her hopes and she had her dreams

Now they're all just faded memories

No one hears her desperate pleas

As she walks the streets

Where no one sees

Chorus

She cries, "I want somebody to love me

Keep me warm, hold me near

She cries "Why must

I live this life of misery?"

"Somebody, please, won't you love me?

Am I such a fool to want to know what love is like"

Before I die.....

Verse 2

She was born in the winter snow

In a broken home, she had no place to go

All of her life she had to fight

Now she's lost her way

She's lost her light

In the darkness, she feels the pain

Of a thousand cries, all the same

All the people just pass her by

There's a thousand tears

In every eye

Chorus

She cries, "I want somebody to love me

Keep me warm, hold me near

She cries "Why must

I live this life of misery?"

"Somebody, please, won't you love me?

Am I such a fool to want to know what love is like"

Before I die

Post-Chorus

Before I die

Before I die

Solo

Bridge

And the rain keeps pouring down

And the snow keeps falling

And the wind keeps blowing cold

But she's still walking

And her story's never told

Chorus

She cries, "I want somebody to love me

Keep me warm, hold me near

She cries "Why must

I live this life of misery?"

"Somebody, please, won't you love me?

Am I such a fool to want to know what love is like"

Before I die

Before I die
