NO ONE EVER TOLD ME
(T. Beechey)
I never knew I could be loved,I didn't know it was allowed
The thing I've heard the folks speak of was only for their crowd
So I'd watch people kissing with a sadness in my heart
Wondering what I was missing or if I could be a part
I never knew I could be loved or was supposed to be
This thing I've heard the folks speak of,I thought never was for me
So I'd watch people holding hands with tears upon my face
Like I was from another land in a different time and place
No one ever told me
That love was meant for all
And when the wind blew coldly
I didn't need to hug the wall
I could find that special someone
To chase away the chill
And bring forth the glowing sun
To rise above the hill
I never knew I could be loved,not even loved by me
This thing I've heard the folks speak of was all a fantasy
So I'd watch people snujggled close with tears upon each cheek
Saying to myself,"That's how it goes and all I do is peek"
I never knew I could be loved,it just never was my choice
This thing I've heard the folks speak of was shadowed by a voice
A little voice within my head that chattered contantly
And the only thing it ever said was "All you can do is see"
No one ever told me
That love was meant for all
That somebody could hold me
And catch me when I'd fall
I never knew the meaning
Of a love so pure and true
Until I started dreaming
Of somebody just like you
I never knew I could be loved,I thought I'd be alone
This thing I've heard the folks speak of was surely not my own
So I'd watch people pass a smile between them and I'd sigh
Why can't I be them for a while? Will someone tell me why?
No one ever told me that love was meant for all
Until I stepped out boldly into your waiting call
Sometimes now I even wonder if all of this is real...
Then I realize I'm under your spell and your appeal
