If I Never Knew You

If I Never Knew You
Jon Secada & Shanice
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 I could feel
A love so strong and true
And I’m so grateful to you
I’d have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we’d make the whole world right
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
All they …… were these whispers in the night
But still my heart is saying we were right

If I never knew you
If I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we’d make the whole world right
I thought our love would be so beautiful
We’d 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
