Story Behind The Song
Joel wrote the text as a poem to me. We decided to make a song and ask a good singer to perform. Cathy Boulanger (Montreal) took the challenge. We know we made a good choice.
Here is one of her songs, on March Larch's youtube channel :

Lyrics
c1/ Before You I thought
I thought I was lost
I thought it was the End
The end of my Life
c2/ Before You I thought
I didn't need Love
Before You I thought
That I didn't deserve it
Ref1/ NOW I KNOW WHAT IT IS
WHAT REAL LIFE IS
c3/ Before You I thought
I wasn't smart enough
Before You I thought
I was too late to be free
c4/ Before You I saw
I saw only Darkness
Before You I saw
I saw myself in Hell
(musique)
Ref2/ NOW I KNOW WHAT IT IS
WHAT REAL LOVE IS
c5/ Now I know I'm not
I'm not all by myself
So close so far I feel
I feel your arms around me
c6/ Now that you are
You are in my Dreams
I see how great it is
How beautiful Life is
Ref3/ NOW I KNOW WHAT IT IS
WHAT A REAL LOVER IS
Bridge/ Now that I am in your Heart
I'm feeling so safe
Everyday stronger and stronger oohh
I swear to God I'll take care of myself
As much as of
Yourself
Ref4/ NOW I KNOW WHAT IT IS
WHAT REAL LIFE IS
(before you I thought)
