I Never Knew Love

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
I never understood the meaning of home
'Til I pulled into that old dirt drive after bein' 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

[Bridge]
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
