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
