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
