I NEVER KNEW
 

    (Lyrics & Music: Mary Ellen Moore)
 

1.
    I never knew that your eyes were so blue
    'Til they were closed to me
    I couldn't say that the sky could be so grey
    Until that fateful day
    But now that you are gone, I've learned to sing my song
    I never knew that your eyes were so blue
    'Til you were gone.

2.
    You went away, now I'm crying night and day
     I need your lovin'
     It wasn't right - you had another's love at night
     But I still wanted you
     Now the time has come when I've got to turn and run
     Heartache waits that way, so I'll turn and face the day
     Without you.

Bridge.
     Oh, I long for your kisses
     It's your love my heart misses
     And your tender touch - well it means so much
     Now that you're gone - and I'm all alone...

3.
     With love we took flight, had the passion of the night
     Lost in the power
     Kissed away my fright, aided by your second sight
     In the seventh hour
     But now that you are gone, I've learned to sing my song
     I never knew that your eyes were so blue
     'Til you were gone.

4.
     It wasn't right - you had another's love at night
     But I still wanted you
     I had to choose - could it be me who would lose ?
     And so I haunted you -
     Now that the time has come, I've got to turn and run
     Heartache waits that way, so I'll turn and face the day
     Without you.
