I never knew the power of a song
until I heard the music playing the day mama pa**ed 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
