Stones, Doug I Never Knew Love lyrics

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'd laid eyes on the face of a new-born child

I never knew to 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 river gently run

And I never knew to 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

I never knew to love
No I mean real love
I never knew that kind of love
'Til this moment with you
'Til I was loved by you
