Shanice

If I Never Knew You
Music: Menken, Alen
Lyrics: Schwartz, Stephen

with Jon Secada

man
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

woman
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

man
I thought our love would be so beautiful

woman
Somehow we made the whole world bright


Both
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
All they'd leave us where these whispers in the night
But still my heart is singing
We were right

woman
If I never knew you
If I never knew this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be

man
There's no moment I regret
Since the moment that we met
If our time has gone too fast
I've lived at last...

Both
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright

woman
I thought our love would be so beautiful
We'd turn the darkness into light

Both
And still my heart is singing
We were right

man
We were right
And If I never knew you
I'd have lived my whole life through

woman
Empty as the sky

Both
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you
