I Never Knew Love

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
