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 be

and if i never held you

i would never have a clue

how at last i find in you

the missing part of me

in this world so full of fear

full of raging 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'd make the whole world right

i never knew that fear and hate could be so strong

all they leave are worthless whispers in the night

but still my heart is saying we were right.

if i never knew you

there is no moment i regret

if i never knew this love

since the moment that we met

i'd have no inkling of how precious life can be

if our time's auspicious as that

is here at last.

i thought our love would be so beautiful

so beautiful...

somehow we make the world right

i thought our love would be so beautiful

we turn the darkness into light

and still my heart is saying we were right.

we were right

and if i never knew you

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 ...you....
