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