His first album, Goodnight Sweetheart, was released that year, producing four singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts. A second album, titled If I Never Stop Loving You, was released a year later, producing three additional chart singles. Although he never charted after 1998, Kersh remained active in the music business until 2005.

Prior to becoming a musician, David Kersh worked as a sanitation expert.[2] Kersh got his musical start in his early 20s, while working at various dance halls throughout the state of Texas.[1][2]

Curb Records signed Kersh in 1996, and his debut album, Goodnight Sweetheart, was released the same year, with its title track peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. The album also featured the #3 single "Another You" (which was written by a then-unknown Brad Paisley) and the #11 "Day In, Day Out".

In 1998, Kersh's second album was released. If I Never Stop Loving You was the name of both the album and its lead-off single, which was also a #3. The album also featured "I Breathe In, I Breathe Out", co-written by Chris Cagle; although Kersh's version of the song was never issued as a single, Cagle would later cut the song himself and take it to Number One on the country music charts in early 2002. "If I Never Stop Loving You" was followed by a #29-peaking cover of Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight", and the #46 "Something to Think About".

In 1999, Kersh posed shirtless in Playgirl magazine.[3] Later that year, he was forced to put his career on hold due to strain on his vocal cords.[4] By 2005, Kersh had announced that he was leaving the country music scene.[5] On his website, Kersh wrote a letter to his fans, explaining that his "heart is just not in the music business anymore".[6][7]

Until Now
David Kersh Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Until this moment, love was just a word in a song
And I stood there watching as the whole world danced along
Until this moment, I never dreamed that dreams came true
And prayers were answered
Oh but now I do

Until now I was lost and alone
Until you my heart had never known

Just what love was really all about
Until you, until here, until now

Life had no meaning, now when I hold you I'm amazed
How all the pieces fall right into place

Until now I was lost and alone
Until you my heart had never known
Just what love was really all about
Until you, until here, until now
Until now I was lost and alone
Until you my heart had never known
Just what love was really all about
Until you, until here, until now

Until you, until here, until now
Until you, until here, until now

He is amazed at how all the pieces of his life fall into place now that he has found this love. Life had previously felt meaningless, but now it has purpose and joy.

Line by Line Meaning

Until this moment, love was just a word in a song
Until meeting you, love was just a concept I heard in songs

And I stood there watching as the whole world danced along
While I watched everyone else enjoy love, I remained unaware

Until this moment, I never dreamed that dreams came true
Until I met you, I never believed dreams could become reality

And prayers were answered
I now realize that prayers and wishes can actually come true

Oh but now I do
Meeting you has changed my entire outlook on love and life

Until now I was lost and alone
Before you, I felt directionless and lonely

Until you my heart had never known
You showed me what true love feels like

Just what love was really all about
I had a false impression of what love was before meeting you

Life had no meaning, now when I hold you I'm amazed
My life felt empty before you, but now holding you fills me with wonder

How all the pieces fall right into place
Everything feels complete and just as it should be when I'm with you

Until you, until here, until now
It's because of you, where we are, and the timing of our love, that I am truly happy
