I've never been in love before Now all at once it's you It's you forever more... I've never been in love before I thought my heart was safe I thought I knew the score But this is wine that's all too strange and strong I'm full of foolish song And now my song must pour So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in I've really never been in love before. But this is wine that's all too strange and strong I'm full of foolish song And now my song must pour So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in I've really never been in love before.

There's a light in the window The table's spread in splendor Someone's standing by the open door I can see a crystal river I must be near forever See, I've never been this homesick before I see the bright light shine It's just about hometime I can see my Father standing at the door This world has been a wilderness I'm ready for deliverance Lord, I've never been this homesick before I can see the family gather Sweet faces, all familiar And no one's old or feeble anymore And my lonesome heart is cryin' Think I'll spread my wings for flyin' See I've never felt this homesick before See the bright light shine It's just about hometime I can see my Father standing at the door This world has been a wilderness I'm ready for deliverance Lord, I've never been this homesick before See the bright light shine It's just about hometime I can see my Father standing at the door This world has been a wilderness I'm ready for deliverance Lord, I've never been this homesick before Lord, I've never been this homesick before, thank you Lord

Hey, mama, when you leave Don't leave a thing behind I don't want nothin' I can't use nothin' Take care into the hall And if you see my friends Tell them I'm fine Not using nothin' Almost burned out my eyes Threw my ears down to the floor I didn't see nothin' I didn't hear nothin' I stood there like a block of stone Knowin' all I had to know And nothin' more Man, that's nothin' Being born is goin' blind And bowin' down a thousand times To echoes strung On pure temptation Sorrow and solitude These are the precious things And the only words That are worth rememberin' Hey, mama, when you leave Don't leave a thing behind I don't want nothin' I can't, I can't use nothin' Oh I can't use nothin'
