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 childchorus
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 runchorus
and I never knew love
no, I mean real love
I 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 any thing 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 whole
chorus
I never knew love
no I mean real love
I never knew that kind of love
til this moment with youtil I was loved by you
