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
till the first time i laid eyes on the face of a new-born 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 that river gently run
and 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 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
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
