Writer(s): Alan Menken, Stephen Schwartz

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

If I never knew you

I'd be safe but half as real

Never knowing how 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 I thought our love would be so beautiful

Somehow we make the whole world bright

I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong

All these fevers were just whispers in the night

But still my heart is saying we were right

Oh oh if I never

Seems the former life regrets

Seems so warm the day we met

If our time has pressed us past our fears that last

Mm baby I thought our love would be so beautiful

Somehow we make the whole world bright

I thought our love would be so beautiful

We turn the darkness into light

And still my heart is saying we were right

We were right and if I never knew you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Empty as the sky never knowing why

Lost forever if I never knew you -ooh -ooh

Ooh -ooh
