The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- 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
- 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
