Jim Reeves - Before I Died Lyrics






No need to say you're sorry
No need to feel ashamed
If I'm not the one you love
Don't feel you're to blame.

I don't deny it hurts me
And this pain is hard to hide
But at least I lived a little while
Before I died.

I lived long enough to know
The sweet thrill of your lips
I knew happiness
Right down to my finger tips.

You'll always be a part of me
Though you can't be mine
At least I lived a little while
Before I died.

Don't ask me to forget you
'Cause you mean too much to me
I couldn't even if I tried
Too many memories.

My yesterday's were happy days
And each mem'ry's locked inside
At least I lived a little while
Before I died.

I lived long enough to know
The sweet thrill of your lips
I knew happiness
Right down to my finger tips.

You'll always be a part of me
And though you can't be mine
At least I lived a little while
Before I died...

    Before I died....one of Jim greatest songs, I love the lyrics of that song. I was just 13yrs. old when I heard Jim died , I cried bitterly he was my Idol.I still love and listen to his song all the time even though Charley Pride is my Idol now. R.I.P.Jim.

    N.... G....

    True. I was 8 yrs old when I learned of his passing and remember exactly where I was, who was with me and who told me. I too cried every night, once in bed, for days. it was truly a upsetting moment in my life I shall never forget.
