## Backstory

The song "Before Then" is a nostalgic ballad about a couple looking back on their relationship and all the good times they've had together. It's a song about love, loss, and the power of memory.

The song begins with the narrator talking about how they met their partner and how they fell in love. They remember all the little things that made their relationship special, like the way they used to laugh together for hours on end, or the way they would always know how to make each other feel better.

The narrator then goes on to talk about some of the challenges they've faced together over the years. They remember the times when they fought, and the times when they felt like giving up. But they also remember how they always managed to come through it stronger than before.

The chorus of the song is a plea to go back in time to before all the challenges and heartache. The narrator wants to relive all the good times they had with their partner, and they want to cherish every moment.

The song ends with the narrator reflecting on the present day. They realize that even though their relationship is different now, it's still strong and loving. They're grateful for all the years they've spent together, and they look forward to many more years to come.

## Lyrics

(Verse 1)

In the shadows of my memory, I find a place to roam,

A time when life was simpler, in a place we used to call home,

The echoes of our laughter, like a melody so sweet,

In the gardens of our innocence, where two hearts used to meet.

(Chorus)

Oh, let's rewind the hands of time, to a world we once knew,

Where the skies were painted gold, and our dreams were all so true,

In the pages of our history, where the story did begin,

I'm lost in the reverie of "Before Then."

(Verse 2)

Through the haze of passing years, I see your face so clear,

A friendship like no other, through the laughter and the tears,

We danced beneath the starlight, our hopes held high and free,

In the tapestry of moments, where you and I used to be.

(Chorus)

Oh, let's rewind the hands of time, to a world we once knew,

Where the skies were painted gold, and our dreams were all so true,

In the pages of our history, where the story did begin,

I'm lost in the reverie of "Before Then."

(Bridge)

Though the years have come and gone, and the world has changed its face,

The memories of "Before Then" still hold a sacred place,

I'll cherish every moment, every smile and every tear,

In the scrapbook of our yesterdays, where I'll always hold you dear.

(Verse 3)

Life's journey keeps on moving, like a river to the sea,

But I'll never forget the beauty of "Before Then," you and me,

In the photographs we captured, in the letters we'd send,

In the chapters of our story, in the love that'll never end.

(Chorus)

Oh, let's rewind the hands of time, to a world we once knew,

Where the skies were painted gold, and our dreams were all so true,

In the pages of our history, where the story did begin,

I'm lost in the reverie of "Before Then."
