I never saw the mornin' 
'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 the song

I never saw the white line 
'til I was leavin' you behind
I never knew I needed you 
until I was caught up in a bind
I never spoke "I love you" 
'til I cursed you in vain
I never felt my heart strings 
until I nearly went insane

I never saw the east coast 
until I moved to the west
I never saw the moonlight 
until it shone off of your breast
I never saw your heart 
until someone tried to steal it away, 
I never saw your tears 
until they rolled down your face

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