My sister Tonya has our song posted on her page, but for those of you who haven't heard it yet, I hope you enjoy your listen. If you've heard it "before" (smiles) no need to leave a comment. I just wanted to post it on my page as well. This was my sister's debut post here on the ramp and I was thrilled to do this co write with her; and as always, I enjoy writing with my talented friend Janice Hopkins! Thanks everyone, Carolyn Even the best of marriages can grow stale when the stresses of life invade our daily lives and we forget how we began....Before.

Verse 1
He called to say, I’ll be a little late
And, honey I’m real sorry
I said, that’s okay, I’ve got stops to make
After work, so don’t you worry
Lift 1
Somethin’ in his voice didn’t seem quite right
So I headed my car down to exit five
Found his truck outside the local pub
Where we’d first met and fell in love But that was before. . .
Chorus A thirty year loan on a house of our own Before two kids were finally grown Before all the bills Took romantic thrills . . . away Before ourdreams began to fade Day by day. . . ‘Till it wasn’t like . . . Before. . .
Verse 2 Saw him with her as I snuck into the bar As she was leaning his way When she touched his arm, I saw red in the dark ‘Till the moment I heard him say
Lift 2 Yeah, I come here from time to time Just to reminisce ‘bout when it was right See this photo of my wife and kids It’s nice rememberin’ how she loved me then But that was before. . .
Repeat Chorus
Bridge I found out, I’m the only woman that he lives for And when he finally walked in our back door I gave him a wink . . . an ole’ familiar grin Then I led him to a place he’d been. . . Before. . .
