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