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 knew 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 foreverIf 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 singingWe were right    If I never knew you  If I never knew this love  I would have no inkling of  how precious life can be    There's no moment I regret  Since the moment that we met  If our time has gone too fast I've lived at last    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 singing  We were right    We were right  And if I never knew you  I'd have lived my whole through    Empty as the sky  Never knowing why  Lost forever  If I never knew you
