A Love Before Time (English) Lyrics by 李玟 (Coco Lee)

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

2000

[Verse 1]
If the sky opened up for me
And the mountains disappeared
If the seas ran dry, turned to dust
And the sun refused to rise
[Chorus 1]
I would still find my way
By the light I see in your eyes
The world I know fades away
But you stay
[Post-Chorus 1]
(As the earth reclaims its due
And the cycle starts anew
We'll stay, always)
In the love that we have shared before time
[Verse 2]
If the years take away
Every memory that I have
[Chorus 2]
I would still know the way
That would lead me back to your side
The north star may die
But the light that I see in your eyes
Will burn there always
Lit by the love we have
Shared before time
[Post-Chorus 2]
(When the forest turns to jade
And the stories that we've made
Dissolve away)
One shining light will still remain
[Outro]
(When we shed our earthly skin
And when our real life begins
There'll be no shame)
Just the love that we have made before time
