If I Never Knew You

If I never knew you
If I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of how precious life can be
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 have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you
I thought that love would be so beautiful
Somehow we make the whole world right
I never knew that fear and hate would be so strong
All they leave us were the whispers in the night
But still my heart is saying we were right
For if I never knew you
If I never knew this love
There's no moment I regret
Since the moment that we met
I would have no inkling of
how precious life can be
If our time has gone too fast
I've lived at last
And I'm so grateful to you
I have lived my whole life through empty as the sky
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you
