I Never Knew Love

I never knew the power of a song,

Till I heard the music playin',

The day that momma passed on.

Never knew what innocence was about,

Till the first time I laid eyes on the face,

Of a newborn child.

I never knew love,

No I mean real love,

I never knew that kind of love,

Till this moment with you.

I never understood the meaning of home,

Till I pulled into that old dirt drive,

After being gone too long.

I didn't know what serenity really was,

Till I stopped one day to listen to,

A river gently run.

I never knew love,

No I mean real love,

I never knew that kind of love,

Till this moment with you.

I've known the hunger before tonight,

For other loves.

I felt the yearning,

I felt the fire,

In their touch.

But this goes deeper,

Than anything I've ever known.

Beyond my heart,

Clear down to my soul.

I never knew what beauty could behold,

Till you looked at me, and I could see,

Forever unfold.

Oh, you made me whole.

I never knew love,

No I mean real love,

I never knew that kind of love,

Till this moment with you.

Till I was loved, by you.
