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
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 im so grateful to you
id have lived my whole life through
lost forever
if i never knew you
if i never knew you
id be safe,but half as real
never knowing i could feel
a love so strong and true
and im so grateful to you
id have lived my whole life through
lost forever
if i never knew you
i thought our love would be so beautiful
somehow wed 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
id have no inkling of how precious life can be
if our times 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 wewere right.
we were right
and if i never knew you
and if i never knew you
id have lived my whole life through
empty as the sky
never knowing why
lost forever
if i never knew you ...you....
