San Diego Serenade Lyrics
I never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night
I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out the light
I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody, until I needed a song.
I never saw the white line, 'til I was leaving you behind
I 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,
I never felt my heartstrings until I nearly went insane.
I never saw the east coast 'til I move to the west
I never saw the moonlight until it shone off your breast
I never saw your heart 'til someone tried to steal, tried to steal it away
I never saw your tears until they rolled down your face.
I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out the light
I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody, until I needed a song.
I 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,
I never felt my heartstrings until I nearly went insane.
I never saw the moonlight until it shone off your breast
I never saw your heart 'til someone tried to steal, tried to steal it away
I never saw your tears until they rolled down your face.

you don't know just how deeply you care about something, or how truly beautiful something is, until you've been away from it long enough for how much you miss it to really come to the surface.
This song is so simple and so amazing.
beautiful late night classic
probably he was inspired by life as a road musician to write this song
This song beautifully conveys that bittersweet sentiment where you realize you were in the good old days but after the good old days (makes me think of that Andy line from the office). Just more and more evidence to experience things clearly, to pay attention to this current moment, and the worries about missing something cease.
