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....
