I never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night
never saw the sunshine until you turned out the light
I never saw my hometown 'til I stayed away too long
never heard the melody, 'til I needed the song.
I never saw the white line, 'til I was leaving you behind
never thought I needed you 'til I was caught up in a bind, baby
never spoke 'I love you' 'til I cursed you in vain,
never felt my heartstrings 'til I nearly went insane.
And I never saw the east coast 'til I moved to the west
never saw the moonlight until it shone ipon your breast, baby
I never saw your heart 'til someone tried to steal it away
I never saw your tears 'til they rolled down your face.
I never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night
never saw the sunshine until you turned out your love light baby
never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long
never heard the melody, 'til I needed the song.
never heard the melody, 'til I needed the song.
