If I never knew you, if I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of how precious life can be
And I never held you I would never have a clue
How at last I'd find in you the missing part of meIn this world so full of fear, full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear in your eyes so dry your eyesAnd I'm so grateful to you
I'da lived my whole life through
Lost forever if I never knew youAnd if I never knew you I'd be safe but half as real
Never knowing I could feel a love so strong and trueAnd I'm so grateful to you
I'da lived my whole life through
Lost forever if I never knew youI 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 leave us with us whispers in the night
But still my heart is saying we were rightIf I never knew you, if I never knew your love
I would have no inkling of how precious life can beI thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we make the whole world bright
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 rightAnd 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 youIf I never knew you
If I never knew you
