Way Past Treasure

the last time through
did i know you?
in the time before
did i know the best of you?
i can think
but i can't remember
was there something lost?
that once was treasured
the last time through
did i know you?

in the previous dance
did i take that chance?
did i live for love?
instead of learning second hand
i can dream
but i can't believe it
was there something there
more than a feeling
in the previous dance
did i take the chance

holding on to hopes and dreams
as life goes streaming by
you don't have to understand
why i still try
why i still smile

in the other world
were you the one?
in that other time world
did i know you as the one?
did i wake too soon?
i can't remember
was there something there?
that was way past treasure
in the other world
were you the one?
