San Diego Serenade

Never saw the mornin' 'til I stayed up all night

Never saw the sunshine 'til I turned out the light

Never saw my hometown 'til I stayed away too long

I never heard the melody 'til I needed the song

I never saw the white line 'til I was leaving you behind

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

Never felt my heart strings 'til I nearly went insane

I never saw the East Coast 'til I moved to the West

Never saw the moonlight 'til it shone off your breast

Never saw your heart 'til someone tried to steal it away

I never saw your tears 'til they rolled down your face

I never saw the mornin' 'til I stayed up all night

Never saw the sunshine 'til I turned out the light

Never saw my hometown 'til I stayed away too long

And I never heard the melody until I needed the song

'Til I needed the song

I never heard the melody 'til I needed

'Til I needed the song
