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 morning 'til I stayed up all night,
I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out your love light, baby,
I never saw my hometown 'til I stayed away too long,
I never heard the melody until I needed the song
