[Verse 1]
A house with a big old shade tree
And a swing put up by dad
Sweet love bites (?)
To close my eyes
Are things I never had

[Verse 2]
A party dress on my birthday
And a doll to make me glad
A high school dance
A teen romance
Are things I never had

[Verse 3]
Someone to read me fairy tales
On the days when it would rain
When I'd fall down
No one was there
To kiss away the pain

[Verse 4]
Someone to call me darlin'
When the blues come on real bad
Each night I pray
To find someday
The things I never had
[Verse 5]
But now I have you darlin'
I never will feel sad
My cares are small
You're more than all
The things that I never had
