Before I Go lyrics

Words and music by Christopher Cross and Rob Meurer

I look out on the city lights
The guarded streets below
I marvel at my history
The things that I don`t know
Just another question
A shadow on my soul
Will there be time
Will there be time before I go

I left home in a hurry
Off to see the world
Then I played some music
Then I loved a girl
Someone called me papa
Took my breath away
Would I be fine
Would I be alright with just today
Will there be time enough for me before I go

Love without rules
Love without end
Sending a lofty prayer for peace out on the wind
Breaking the curse
Breaking the chain
Making a promise I won`t have to make again

I look out on the city lights
The stories that they tell
And wonder at my destiny
Beyond this carousel
Such a hollow question
A tether frayed by fear
Will there be time
Time to let go while I`m here
Will there be time enough for me so I`ll know
Will there be time enough for me before I go
