San Diego Serenade

Never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night
Never saw the sun shine 'til you turned out the lights
Never saw my home town until I stayed away too long
Never heard the melody until I needed the song
I never saw the white line 'til I was leaving you behind
I never knew I needed you 'til I was caught up in a bind
I never spoke 'I love you' 'til I cursed you in vain
I never felt my heartstrings until I nearly went insane
I never saw the east coast 'til I moved to the west
I never saw the moonlight until it shone off your breast
I never saw your heart 'til someone tried to steal, tried to steal it away
I never saw your tears until they rolled down your face
I never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night
I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out the light
I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody, until I needed the song
