If I Never Knew You

If I never knew you

If I never felt this love

I would have no inkling of

How precious life can beAnd if I never held you

I would never have a clue

How at last I'd find in you

The missing part of me.In this world so full of fear

Full of rage and lies

I can see the truth so clear

In your eyes

So dry your eyesAnd I'm so grateful to you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Lost forever

If I never knew youIf I never knew you

I'd be safe but half as real

Never knowing I could feel

A love so strong and trueI'm so grateful to you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Lost forever

If I never knew youI thought our love would be so beautiful

Somehow we'd make the whole world bright

I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong

All they'd leave us were these whispers in the night

But still my heart is saying we were rightOh if I never knew you

If I never knew your love

I would have no inkling of

How precious life can beI thought our love would be so beautiful

Somehow we'd make the whole world bright

I thought our love would be so beautiful

We'd turn the darkness into light

And still my heart is saying we were right

We were rightAnd if I never knew you

If I never knew you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Empty as the sky

Never knowing why

Lost forever

If I never knew you

If I never knew you (oh)

If I never knew you
