If I Never Knew You Lyrics by Jon Secada

If I Never Knew You

[male solo]
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 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.


[female solo]
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.


[male solo]
I thought our love would be so beautiful
[female solo]
Somehow we make the whole world right
[duet]
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.


[female solo]
If I never knew you
[male solo]
There is no moment I regret
[female solo]
If I never knew this love
[male solo]
Since the moment that we met
[female solo]
Id have no inkling of how precious life can be
[male solo]
If our times auspicious as that
Is here at last.


[duet]
I thought our love would be so beautiful
[female solo]
So beautiful...
[duet]
Somehow we make the world right
[female solo]
I thought our love would be so beautiful
We turn the darkness into light
[duet]
And still my heart is saying we were right.


[male solo]
We were right
And if I never knew you
[female solo]
And if I never knew you
[male solo]
Id have lived my whole life through
[duet]
Empty as the sky
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you
