that's when I called you and it's so hard to explain But in those photos, I saw us instead And, somehow, I know that you and I would've found each other In another life, you still would've turned my head even if we'd met On a crowded street in 1944 And you were headed off to fight in the war You still would've been mine We would have been timeless I would've read your love letters every single night And prayed to God you'd be comin' home all right And you would've been fine We would have been timeless 'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this So, even in a different life, you still would've been mine We would've been timeless I had to smile when it caught my eye There was one of a teenage couple in the driveway Holdin' hands on the way to a dance And the date on the back said 1958 Which brought me back to the first time I saw you Time stood still like somethin' in this old shop I thought about it as I started lookin' 'round At these precious things that time forgot That's when I came upon a book covered in cobwebs Story of a romance torn apart by fate Hundreds of years ago, they fell in love, like we did And I'd die for you in the same way if I first saw your face In the 1500s off in a foreign land And I was forced to marry another man You still would've been mine We would have been timeless I would've read your love letters every single night And run away and left it all behind You still would've been mine We would've been timeless 'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this So, even in a different life, you still would've been mine We would've been timeless Time breaks down your mind and body Don't you let it touch your soul It was like an age-old classic The first time that you saw me The story started when you said, "Hello" In a crowded room a few short years ago And sometimes there's no proof, you just know You're always gonna be mine We're gonna be I'm gonna love you when our hair is turnin' gray We'll have a cardboard box of photos of the life we've made And you'll say, "Oh my, we really were timeless" We're gonna be timeless, timeless You still would've been mine We would've been Even if we'd met on a crowded street in 1944 You still would've been mine We would've been Down the block, there's an antique shop And somethin' in my head said, "Stop, " so I walked in
