I never knew the power of a song
'Til I heard the music playin', the day mama passed on
Never knew what innocence was about
'Til the first time I'd laid eyes on the face of a new-born childI never knew love
No, I mean real love
I'd never knew that kind of love
'Til this moment with youI 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 river gently runAnd I never knew love
No, I mean real love
I'd never knew that kind of love
'Til this moment with youI've known the hunger before tonight for other love
I felt the yearning, I felt the fire, in their touch
This goes deeper than anything I've ever known
Beyond my heart, clear down to my soulI never knew what beauty could behold
'Til you looked at me
And I could see forever unfold
Oh you made me wholeI never knew love
No, I mean real love
I'd never knew that kind of love
'Til this moment with you'Til I was loved by you
