Never saw the morning, 'til I stayed up all night

Never saw the sunshine, 'til you turned out the light

Never saw my hometown, until I stayed away too long

Never heard the melody, 'til I needed the song

Never saw the white line , 'til I was leaving you behind

Never knew I needed you, 'til I was caught up in a bind

Never spoke I love you, until I cursed you in vain

Never felt my heart-strings, 'til I really went insane

Never saw the east coast 'til I moved to the west

Never saw the moonlight, until it shone of your breast

Never saw your heart, 'til someone tried to steal it away

Never saw your tears, until they rolled down your face
