I Never Knew, A Girl Like You

Curtis Atchley

Please hear me now, I'm all alone
I'm sorry girl, I'm coming home
I see your eyes, your friendly smile
You're here beside me all the while
I never knew, I never knew
I never knew, a girl like you

You're everything, and even more
And you're the one, that I adore
You're like the wind, before the rain
The mem'ry of, an old refrain
I never knew, I never knew
I never knew, a girl like you

Don't make me beg, don't make me plead
Don't say goodby, you're all I need
You're like the light, that shows the way
And leads me to, a brighter day
I never knew, I never knew
I never knew, a girl like you
