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

A party dress on my birthday
And a doll to make me glad
A highschool 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

Someone to call me darlin'
When the blues come on real bad
Each night I pray
To find someday
The things I never had

[Repeat VERSE 3]

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
