If I never knew you
if I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
how precious life can be
And if I never held you
I would never have a clue
Now 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 eyes
And I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
if I never knew you
If I never knew you
I'd be safe but half as real
Never knowing I could feel
a love so strong and true
I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever if I never knew you
I 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
where these whispers in the night
But still me heart is saying
we were right
If I never knew you
There's no moment I regret
If I never knew this love
Since the moment that we met
I would have no inkling of
If our time has gone to fast
How precious life can be
I've lived at last
I 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
And 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
