Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I never knew you
If I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
And I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever, if I never knew you
[Verse 5]
If I never knew you
I'd be safe but half as real
Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and true
[Verse 6]
I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever, if I never knew you
[Chorus]
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we 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 right
Oh-oh-oh
[Verse 7]
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, oh
I've lived at last, yeah yeah
[Chorus]
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 saying we were right
We were right
[Outro]
And 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
Yeah
Ooh
