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'd 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 if I never knew you   If I never knew your love   I would have no inkling of   How precious life can be...   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   we were right      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   If I never knew you (oh)   If I never knew you
