West, Matthew - The Day Before You Lyrics






I had all but given up on finding the one that I could fall into
On the day before you I was ready to settle for less than love and not much more
There was no such thing as a dream come true
But that was on the day before you

[CHORUS]
Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to the day before you

In your eyes I see forever and it makes me wish that my life never knew the day before you
Oh, but heaven knows those years without you were shaping my heart for the day that I found you
And if you're the reason for all I've been through then I'm thankful for the day before you

It was the last day that I ever lived alone
And I'm never going back
No, I'm never going back

    If you guys want a wedding song, Matthew West has another song called "When I Say I Do". It's really good!

    Lord I will never go back to the day before You. Now with You I am not alone because now you are here. Life is way better with you Lord, You promised me that You would never leave me and now i am seeing your promise is true and I am never going back.

  40. Z.... ....

    You're welcome! Timon is awesome:D

  41. M.... E....

    Thanks XD

  42. Z.... ....

    I like your picture @mepp30 :D

  43. M.... F....

    @ Tessa Fox and Mel112824. Matthew West wrote this song for his wife. How you apply it in your life and who you attribute it to is completely in your jurisdiction and up to you. But as for Matthew West he personally said at a concert he wrote it for his wife. He of course thanks God for putting her in his life. but it's intent was a love song and promise to his wife.

  44. M.... E....

    I'm so sorry to hear that! I will keep your little furball in my prayers :(

  45. A.... K....

    this song gives me hope that my kitten, gilbert, will get better! he has a blood parasite and he is so weak right now... im praying so much right now that i cant think of any more prayers so im parying through these songs!

  46. M.... E....

    I guess the reply is still fine, just wanted to let you know I read it as "I am not sure..." etc. I thought you were disagreeing with them, so I wanted to make a point to tell you they could be right XD Disregard my last comment. :P

  47. M.... E....

    A lot of people interpret it that way, and I can see it. I think there are multiple ways you can apply this song to someone, whether it be a religious figure, a family member, or a significant other. Personally, I think of that special person, but that's just me.

  48. T.... F....

    I am sure that is exactly how matthew west meant it to be.

  49. M.... E....

    Aww, that's beautiful and very meaningful :)

  50. B.... P....

    I know a lot of people are sharing this to their boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, wives.
    But me, I'm sharing it with my daughter.

    B.... P....

    Perfect

  51. S.... M....

    Was in my brother's wedding yesterday. This song played as we all walked down the isle. It was beautiful, and now I'm in love with this song. <3 ^_^

  52. M.... E....

    That is a good song :)

  53. j.... ....

    if yo like this song go listen to when i say i do by Matthew west

  54. M.... E....

    I know right? I don't understand how you can dislike this song. Oh well, they're missing out on something wonderful, let them dislike it.

  55. T.... ....

    I like what you said.

  56. T.... ....

    Praise God! Truly, Jesus is strong when we are weak, when we're at our lowest and don't see how we can hold on any longer. He is truly an awesome God and He truly is mighty to deliver us out of all our fears, etc. There is no way to tell just how amazing He is, but but for now and for eternity we can try to say it as best as we can.
    P.S.: I sooooo love Matthew West's songs . . . for me, it's a toss-up between "More" and "Only Grace" as to which is my fav.

  57. y.... ....

    what a talented singer! who's with me?

    y.... ....

    Meeeeeee!!!!!!

  58. v.... b....

    If I had one wish I would wish to see Matthew West in person just Face to Face I love him his songs basically turned my whole life around if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be hear right now he is my walking miracle. Its like his songs have so much emotion and passion in the words it just changed my life. I wasn't saved before I heard Strong Enough by him then I went to the church confessed all my sins and now I know that I'm going to have eternal life because I live for the only true living God.

  59. S.... ....

    i love how he wrote this played it and while he wasnt known very well.. rascal flats wanted to cover it... i like both versions... i say MW did well for this being on an independent album

  60. M.... E....

    No worries, everyone is entitled to their own opinion of course. I do like the Rascal Flatts version too, I just prefer this one. :)

  61. m.... f....

    @jackielynhuffman ...congratulations!!!!thanks for sharing your love story.gOod luck....your right,this song must be on wedding list.

  62. M.... E....

    @mitchieyah I'm sorry to hear that hun; Heartbreak hurts. But just when you think all is set, something else comes alonge. I've loved & lost, & I couldn't believe the pain. A year later, Joshua came along, & he's the greatest gift God could ever give me. We love each other unconditionally, & if things wouldn't have ended with Keith, I never would have been with Josh. He is a beautiful person, he's my best friend & my lover. Yesterday was 9 months. Never give up hope, you'll find him!

  63. m.... f....

    aigoo!i heard this song first time last Feb 13,2012.....i found this song so nice and very suitable for who i am to my BF.there's was no hesitation and i posted it to his FB wall showing what i feel for him...But it was just,he gave me pain return.Feb 14,2012...i never received even a simple greeting from him...whats the most hurts is,of all people.....why HIM?The man i ever want to be with forever is the man who put me aside that day.It was so hurt......

  64. M.... E....

    @jackielynhuffman You and me both :)
    Another one that you may love if you haven't heard of it before, "May I" by Trading Yesterday.
    It's my favorite song right now. So beautiful and full of emotion.

  65. M.... E....

    @huntingisforgirls Definitely :)

  66. M.... E....

    @AlisiaAddiction Sony Vegas Pro 9.0. :)

  67. h.... ....

    i think both versions are great :)

  68. A.... C....

    What did you use to make this(:

  69. M.... E....

    @YepThatWhatiSaid No problem! :)

  70. Y.... ....

    Thank YOU

  71. M.... E....

    @Beshanii That's a really sweet background, I didn't know that :) I much prefer this version. <3

  72. T.... ....

    @blakecampbell1998 Go to amazon, and look up the song, there will be something called premiere performance plus, I think there are ones in different keys also. But it is just the music, so you will have to memorize the lyrics or print them out. That way it's better than singing it from a screen or whatever. Good luck!

  73. T.... ....

    @mepp30 Awesome! I'm glad you enjoy it. It's one of fav because it reminds me of my wedding day ;)

  74. M.... E....

    @TheMotions11 I listened to it... It's so beautiful! It's my favorite version of this song. :) I bought the album!

  75. T.... ....

    @mepp30 actually go on Amazon and type Matthew West The Writer's Room: An Acoustic EP, You can either buy just the song from that album or the whole album. It's really a great song. I felt more emotion in this one. It's great.

  76. M.... E....

    @TheMotions11 Ooh, I didn't know there was an acoustic version. I love acoustic versions usually the best. If you find it, it would be great if you could send me a link. I would love to hear it! :)

  77. T.... ....

    This was my wedding song, but we used the acoustic version, and I love it better than this version, because it's a little softer. It sucks I can't find that version on here. This is where I found it before.

  78. M.... E....

    @blakecampbell1998 Agreed, if you're looking for it on Youtube, search under Rascal Flatts since their version of this song is more well-known; Someone is more likely to put it under Rascal Flatts rather than Matthew West. If you can't find it on here, I suggest searching on Youtube/Google instructions on how to make an instrumental. I know there are programs out there, and I've tried using one of them once when I wanted to do a cover of a song, but I couldn't get it to work for me. Good luck!

  79. B.... C....

    I plan on singing this at my Aunts Wedding. Does anyone know where I can find a Karoke version?

  80. M.... E....

    @punkboysarehot88 I agree with your comment so much. <3 Thank you, for viewing the song this way. I view it in both ways, and I see God through Josh's eyes. Like in Les Mis: To love another person is to see the face of God. <3 Every single day I thank God for giving me Joshua, and no matter what happens, I know that He will never abandon me, and He will always be there.

  81. J.... ....

    I love this song. God bless Matthew West.

  82. M.... E....

    @SarahBeth921 I have to agree with you. I love Rascal Flatts, but this song is sung perfectly by Matthew West. <3 Defintely a song more for his voice style!

  83. S.... ....

    This is so much better than Rascal Flatts. This just isn't meant to be sung by a country singer<3

  84. M.... E....

    @jeloken10 Definitely :) I sang this song to my boyfriend, and he thinks it's a perfect wedding song.

  85. M.... E....

    @mmc5335 Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

  86. M.... E....

    @mmc5335 Really? Awesomeness. :) Rascal Flatts did it well too though!

  87. E.... ....

    Thanks for this, great job and I love this song....but especially this version, like you, this is the one I knew and heard first.

  88. E.... ....

    @AgentDPSG1 LOL, actually....Matthew did it first (I think haha)

  89. M.... E....

    @AgentDPSG1 Haha, oh man I love you XD
    I was curious if you were going to comment on this, and how you would comment. :)
    Rascal Flatts version is freaking awesome, I just heard this one first so I'm used to it. ^.^

  90. A.... ....

    Good thing I was on vacation when you uploaded this. Gosh, I'm so insulted. XD

    RASCAL FLATTS BEING COVERED??? *dies* Haha, it sounds all right. I'm just more used to the Flattsies. <3 ;)

    I'm just teasing you, love. ;D

  91. M.... E....

    @liliesnrubies You're welcome! :)
