Just Before The Rain

Wind in the trees That moment when the sky holds its breath I heard your voice before I saw your face Every word had weight, every thought had grace I turned around and time slipped away Beauty and brilliance in the same frame I was standing between who I was And who I was becoming, learning trust Did not know love could sound so clear Till your voice pulled me near We were careful, we were real Friends before we let it feel Two hearts changing at the same time Standing at the edge of a different line It was just before the rain When we felt it start to change Standing in the wind wide open Calling it love not afraid Just before the rain When we finally said the truth Every step that followed Led me straight to you Different states but the same late nights Miles between us still reading the signs Two lives healing learning when to wait Knowing some love is worth the weight Four sons two daughters hearts involved Not just falling but choosing it all Blending dreams with broken pasts Building something meant to last Distance never dimmed the flame Timing never changed the name We did not rush we did not hide We stepped forward side by side It was just before the rain When we felt it start to change Standing in the wind wide open Calling it love not afraid Just before the rain When we finally said the truth Every step that followed Led me straight to you You are the lyrics to my melody You are the rhythm carrying me We love the music because it never lies Every harmony reminds us why This song was written long before We knew what we were waiting for It was just before the rain When we felt it start to change Standing in the wind wide open Calling it love not afraid Just before the rain When we finally said the truth Every step that followed Led me straight to you Now the children are finding their way And we are still choosing this every day Growing older best friends still Same song playing same promise held Just before the rain
