San Diego Serenade

I never saw the mornin' 'til I stayed up all night
I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out the light
Never saw my hometown ’til I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody until I needed the song

I never saw the white line 'til I was leavin' you behind
Never knew I needed you until I was caught up in a bind
Never spoke "I love you" 'til I cursed you in vain
Never felt my heart strings ’til 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
Never saw your heart until someone someone tried to steal it
Never saw your tears until they rolled down your face

Never saw the mornin' 'til I stayed up all night
Never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out your love light babe
I never saw my hometown ’til I stayed away too long
Never heard the melody until I needed the song
