Down the block theres
an antique shop
And something in my
head said stop
So I walked in
On the counter was a
cardboard box
And the sign said Photos
25 cents each
Black and white saw
a 30s bride
And school lovers
Laughing on the porch
of their first house
The kinda love
That you only find
once in a lifetime
The kind you dont put down
And thats when I called you
And its so hard to
explain but
In those photos I saw
us instead
And somehow I know
that you
And I wouldve found
each other
In another life
You still wouldve
turned my head
Even if wed met
On a crowded street in 1944
And you were headed
off to fight in the war
You still wouldve
been mine
We wouldve been timeless
I wouldve read your
love letters every single night
And prayed to God
youd be coming home all right
And you would have been fine
We wouldve been timeless
Cause I believe that
We were supposed to find this
So even in a different life
You still wouldve been mine
We wouldve been timeless
I had to smile when it
caught my eye
There was one of a teenage
couple in the driveway
Holding 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
g in this old shop
I thought about it
As I started looking round
at these precious things
That time forgot
Thats 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 wouldve been mine
We would have been timeless
I would have read your
love letters every single night
And run away and left it
all behind
You still wouldve been mine
We wouldve been timeless
Cause I believe
That we were
supposed to find this
So even in a different life
You still wouldve
been mine
We wouldve been
timeless
Time breaks down
your mind and body
Dont 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
Youre always gonna
be mine
Were gonna be
Im gonna love you when
our hair is turning gray
Well have a cardboard box
of photos of the life we've made
And youll say
Oh my we really were
timeless
Were gonna be timeless
Timeless
You still wouldve been mine
We wouldve been
Even if wed met
On a crowded street
in 1944
You still wouldve been mine
We wouldve been
Down the block there
s an antique shop
And something in
my head said stop
So I walked in
