I never knew dawn could break,
With peace so deep and hope so wide,
Until that first morning when I awoke,
And you lay sleeping by my side.*

I never knew I could laugh,
Without a care in the world; with such ease,
Until that first moment you infected me,
Contagious with your mirth; how you do tease.

I never knew I could feel so alive,
So aware of the world around me,
Until that first kiss we shared,
Electrifying feelings I could see.

I never knew what God had in store,
The plans he wrought long ago,
Until that first night,
I met you on the dance floor.

I never knew how much I could love,
With a fervor unknown to me,
Until that first thought,
I realized you fit me like a glove.

I never knew that I would ever discover,
What I searched for desperately,
Until that first instant,
You my lover...
