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'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 made 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 singing, we were right, oh If I never knew you (there's no moment I regret) If I never knew your 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, ooh (I've lived at last) Yeah-yeah I thought our love would be so beautiful (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 singing, we were right We were right And if I never knew you (if I'd 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, ooh Yeah (ooh)
