Pete Townshend - Was There Life Lyrics
Was there life before this love
Was there love before this girl I can see
Was there ever love for her before me
And if I look will she
Look back at me
Enough?
Was there heat before this flame
Were there flames before this fire in my heart
Was I wrong about it from the start
Am I in ecstasy
Or next to see
That fantasy's to blame
Was there life before this love
Look back at me
Is fantasy
Enough?
If this scene is in a dream
Then I'm perfect for the part I play
You can count on me to stand and say
"Was there ever life before this wonderful day?"
Was there heat before this flame
Were there flames before this fire in my heart
Was I wrong about it from the start
Am I in ecstasy
Or next to see
That fantasy's to blame
If this dream's within a dream
Then I'll never swoon quite deep enough
No hypnotic trance quite sleep enough
If in this sweet dream I'm flying
I will never fly quite high enough
You will hear me crying high above
"Was there ever life before this wonderful love?"

Pete Townshend Was There Life Comments
My wife and I danced to this at our wedding in 1991. It's a beautiful, special song.
Ein sehr besonderes Lied! Und es ist das beste sowie das geheimnisvollste Lied auf "Iron Man".
A very special song! And it is the best and the most mysterious song on "Iron Man".
I found this CD in a pile of used CD's. Quickly became one of my favorites. What an overlooked gem.
he even said he was bad at writing love songs.
Beatiful... My favorite...
I played this on my piano and my dog spanky cried
Amazing song!! Beautiful, innocent, and complex all wrapped into one underrated song.
I always wanted this played at my wedding. Sadly, it didn't happen (the song didn't happen, the wedding did!) :D
Complex but melodic at the same time. A genious of a composer. Goes from "sunset" to "sunrise".
LINDO.....LINDO, lembra até Tom Jobim.... Pete encontra a MPB.
I agree. Underrated,
Beatufull!!!!
Pete Townshend is underrated for harmonies and chord-progressions, with people pointing out the simple changes in songs like "I can't Explain" and "Baba O' Reilly." But this shows he really had a gift for sophisticated chord-changes as well.
Sir Pete, why oh why is he not, come on everyone
Great Song from a Great Artist!
I Love Pete
