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
