Lyrics

  1. Maybe there were stars before I met you
    Maybe there were silver moonbeams, too
    But until I saw them all around you
    I was blind because I never knew

Chorus
I never knew that roses grew
Or if skies were blue or gray
I never knew when breezes blew
What a Summer breeze could say
I never knew that dreams came true
And took your cares away
I never knew what love could do
Until I met you today

  1. All my lips could say my eyes have told you
    Still my lips would say it o’er and o’er
    All my life I’m longing, dear, to hold you
    Every single day I’ll say once more
