I Ain't Ever - John Fogerty

I guess before I met you I didn't know better But you swept in out of nowhere When I thought I'd never go there And you set the bar For this stubborn heart And when you met my family Everybody knew that you had me rapt I ain't ever loved no one like that And when I said I loved you I didn't care if you said it back I ain't ever loved no one like that If you'd have just kept walking And we'd never got to talking I could go on existing Not knowin' what I was missing But you set the bar For this stubborn heart When you met my family Everybody knew that you had me rapt I ain't ever loved no one like that And when I said I loved you I didn't care if you said it back I ain't ever loved no one like that And maybe I'll love again Then again, maybe I won't Maybe you feel the same Maybe you don't How would I know? 'Cause when you met my family Everybody knew that you had me rapt I ain't ever loved no one like that And when I said I loved ya I didn't care if you said it back I ain't ever loved no one like that I ain't ever loved no one like that I ain't ever loved no one like that I ain't ever loved no one like that

Late I buy stumble a few thousand beers in my day You put down twice as many No telling how many burn fires have lit up my face If they ain't hundreds, it ain't many I stood on this stage so many times Being watched on my friends Havin' the time of your life There's somethin' in this Spring time air tonight And we're gonna do it up bright Like we ain't ever All been together Let's try to make one night last forever Once you're sconed, you can't get it back So leave a mark, y'all, where you at Let's fill up on this feel good rock we don't know, know better Like we ain't ever This ain't the first time we've partied under the stars Making a hung over Well, this time I got a few more songs in this old guitar For you to pull your baby closer You pull your baby closer Like we ain't ever All been together Let's try to make one night last forever Once you're sconed, you can't get it back So leave a mark, y'all, where you at Let's fill up on this feel good rock we don't know, know better Like we ain't ever Yeah, There's somethin' in this Spring time air tonight And we're gonna do it up bright Let's do it up bright Like we ain't ever All been together Let's try to make one night last forever Once you're sconed, you can't get it back So leave a mark, y'all, where you at Let's fill up on this feel good rock we don't know, know better Like we ain't ever Like we ain't ever Like we ain't ever

CHORUS: Oh the midnight, need a searchlight. Oh the midnight, need a searchlight. I walk along the rocky shore, the place I lost myself; I search the water, look in the sky, I hear the cries for help. I trace my footsteps down to the sea, but then the path disappears; Here in the darkness, I'm runnin' blind, Been stumblin' for all of these years. CHORUS What was the demon that made me run, can I ever hope to understand? I hear my voice, echoes on the wind; I try to reach out with my hand. Without a light, I might be here forever, lost for all eternity; There in the darkness, slippin' through my fingers, The face that smiles back is me. CHORUS CHORUS CHORUS
