Never Thought
Hill Dan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can I touch you?
I can't believe that you are real
How did I ever find you?
You are the dream that saved my life
You are the reason I survived
Baby

I never thought that I could love
Someone as much as I love you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
Someone as much as I need you
I love you

Can I hold you?
Girl your smile lights up the sky
You are too beautiful for the human eye
You are the dream that never dies
You are the fire that burns inside
Baby

I never thought that I could love
Someone as much as I love you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
Someone as much as I need you
I love you

You are the sunshine in the sky
You are the sparkle in my eyes

I never thought that I could love
Someone as much as I need you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I know it's true
I never thought that I could need




Someone as much as I need you
I love you

(( ...ah happened to be there just after this song and resume hit the big corporate publlisher.
It's "Dan Hill", right?
For some reason, 'Dan' did not want to be associated as himself and his first big hit.
They told me that Dan's resume and song submission's were under a ficticous name.
At this time, the electro-R&B-Pop, self-packaging before being granted corporate promotion ( Technotronic, etc) were just being released.
Last ah remember, Dan Hill, Bruce Hornsby , Randy Travis, maybe include Joshua Kaddison.
But the raw singer/songwriter era was on its way out.
Thinking back as if almost another dimension, in the car, between mah mother and father, sister n bro, with "Sometimes WhenWe Touch" on car the radio, being acknowledged as 'a GOOD song!', in the midst of late Seventies, domestic in 'real time', ((Surreal now.))
AMEN, Amen.

Lost my Sister this morning. She was only 43. I love this song so much. I know she's free from the sickness and pain. I can't help but smile through these tears. She is dancing in heaven with Jesus and now I have an angel helping me...she was pretty amazing. I will see you soon, Ali. I love you and will miss you so much. I will see you soon and I can hardly wait until then.
