Before

The telephone's not answered
So many times you'll call
For many different reasons
so many tears will fall
before you find your love
before it comes knocking at your door
before you know for sure
this is what you were waiting for

So many fears will haunt you
deny them or regret
Some men will make you want to
and you will not forget
before you find your love
before it comes knocking at your door
before you know for sure
this is what you were waiting for

There's a story of a man who loved too much
He ended up inside a prison cell
You've got to want to give to get it
or you could land up in the same suspicious hell
It's happened before
It's happened before

Coincidence and patience
will mend this fatal flaw
Though it may seem a long wait
others have been here
before you find your love
before it comes knocking at your door
before you know for sure
this is what you were waiting for

One day when the phone starts ringing
you'll answer to the words you're longing for
No tears, no trade, no prison cell
Whatever you need, he will return more
It's happened before
It's happened before

Ante

El teléfono no ha respondido
Tantas veces llamarás
Por muchas razones diferentes
tantas lágrimas caerán
antes de encontrar tu amor
antes de que venga llamando a tu puerta
antes de que sepas con certeza
esto es lo que estabas esperando

Tantos miedos te perseguirán
negarlos o arrepentirse
Algunos hombres te harán querer
y no olvidarás
antes de encontrar tu amor
antes de que venga llamando a tu puerta
antes de que sepas con certeza
esto es lo que estabas esperando

Hay una historia de un hombre que amaba demasiado
Terminó dentro de una celda de prisión
Tienes que querer dar para conseguirlo
o podrías aterrizar en el mismo infierno sospechoso
Ha pasado antes
Ha pasado antes

Coincidencia y paciencia
arreglará este defecto fatal
Aunque puede parecer una larga espera
otros han estado aquí
antes de encontrar tu amor
antes de que venga llamando a tu puerta
antes de que sepas con certeza
esto es lo que estabas esperando

Un día cuando el teléfono empieza a sonar
responderás a las palabras que anhelas
Sin lágrimas, sin comercio, sin celda de prisión
Lo que sea que necesites, él volverá más
Ha pasado antes
Ha pasado antes
