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