San Diego Serenade

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 a song I never saw the white line, 'til I was leaving you behind I never knew I needed you until 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 until I moved to the west I never saw the moonlight until it shone off of your breast I never saw your heart until 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 your love light, baby I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long I never heard the melody until I needed the song
