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, 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 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. And 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 made 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 my heart is singing, 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 too fast.) How precious life can be. (I've lived at last...) I thought our love would be so beautiful; Somehow we made the whole world bright. I thought our love would be so beautiful, We'd turn the darkness into light. And still my heart is singing, 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.
