I Never Knew Love

I never knew the power of a song

until I heard the music playing the day mama passed on

never knew what innocence was about

til the first time I laid eyes on the face of a new-born child

chorus

I never knew love

no, I mean real love

I never knew that kind of love

til this moment with you

I never understood the meaning of home

til I pulled into that old dirt drive after being gone too long

I didn't know what serenity really was

til I stopped one day to listen to that river gently run

chorus

and I never knew love

no, I mean real love

I never knew that kind of love

til this moment with you

i've known the hunger before tonight for other love

I felt the yearning I felt the fire, in their touch

this goes deeper than any thing i've ever known

beyond my heart, clear down to my soul

I never knew what beauty could behold

til you looked at me and I could see forever unfold

oh you made me whole

chorus

I never knew love

no I mean real love

I never knew that kind of love

til this moment with you

til I was loved by you
