From the recordings What's Out There and What's Out There

Lyrics
[C]I always [Am]knew
the [C]oceans were cold and [Am]deep
[C]I always [Am]knew
the stars were [C]up there for all to [Am]see
But I never knew
Never knew
Your love would surround my heart
Oh, I never knew
Your love would
Be my life's restart
I always knew
the grass would come in green and tall
I always knew
down south they say “all ya'all”
But I never knew
Never knew
Your love would be so bright
Oh, I never knew
My nights
would be filled with all your light
BRIDGE
Well, I study life
And there are things I'd like to know
The boiling point of lava
Can we really burn clean coal?
But what's got my mind
digging for the gold
is the lo-uh-uh-love
of our lives
I always knew that clipping coupons
could save me money
I always knew
from honey bees, well, you get your honey
But I never knew
Never knew
Your love would be this sweet
Oh, I never knew
Your love
would be my luncheon meat
BRIDGE
Well, I study life
And there are things I'd like to know
The boiling point of lava
Can we really burn clean coal?
But what's got my mind
digging for the gold
is the lo-uh-uh-love
of our lives
So, there you have it
That’s my love life in a shell
Maybe you'll get lucky too
Be drenched in some lover's spell
‘Cause you never know
Never know
When love will wipe away that frown
Oh, you never know
When love will come strollin’
Into your home town
Well, I never knew
I never knew
