Let's take it back to a one-way street To a flashing light The air is sweet Let's take it back to the break of dawn I heard our song And sang it loud Can we go back to the times we used to know Visit all the places we used to go Take my hand let's go back Once more (chorus) Back before the storm I held your hand Before the storm My wish was your command Before the storm I knew how things would end Before the storm You were my friend Let's take it back to a midnight stroll We're all alone The air is cold Let's take it back to a party dress You looked your best And you smiled at me Can we go back to the things we used to do Sing our favorite songs all out of tune Take my hand, let's go back Once more (chorus) Back before the storm I held your hand Before the storm My wish was your command Before the storm I knew how things would end Before the storm You were my friend For a while there I thought We would last forever Then the clouds and the rain Came and washed those thoughts away Now when I see you I don't smile, I don't wave Cuz the storm came And took you (chorus) Back before the storm I held your hand Before the storm My wish was your command Before the storm I knew how things would end Before the storm I was your sun Before the storm You were the one Before the storm I thought my search was done Before the storm you were My friend
