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
