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 a love would be so beautiful
Somehow we made the whole world bright
I thought a love would be so beautiful

We'd turn the darkness into light
And still my heart is singing
We were right


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, you
