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 till I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody till I needed the song
Till I needed the song

I never saw the white line till I was leaving you behind
I never knew I needed you till I was caught up in a bind
I never spoke I love you till I cursed you, girl, in vain
I never felt my heart strings till I nearly went insane
Till I nearly went insane

Moments, they're windows to all eternity
But I never saw the beauty of my lifetime
Your love was there too, so much I had to do
But each road I took, it led me further, further from you

I never saw the East Coast till I moved to the West
I never saw the moonlight till it shone off of your breast
I never saw your heart, girl, until he tried to steal it away
I never saw your tears, girl, till they rolled down your face
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 the light
I never saw my hometown till I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody till I needed the song
Till I needed the song
