If I Never Knew You
Music by Alen Menken and Lyrics by Stephen
Schwartz
From Pocahontas
(man sings):
If I never knew you
If I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can beAnd if I never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I'd find in you
The missing part of meIn this world so full of fear
Full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear
In your eyes
So dry your eyesAnd I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you(woman sings):
If I never knew you
I'd be safe but half as real
Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and trueI'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you(man sings):
I thought our love would be so beautiful(woman sings):
Somehow we made the whole world bright(Both sing):
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 sings):
If I never knew you
If I never knew this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be(man sings):
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 sing):
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright(woman sings):
I thought our love would be so beautiful
We'd turn the darkness into light(Both sing):
And still my heart is singing
We were right(man sings):
We were right
And If I never knew you
I'd have lived my whole life through(woman sings):
Empty as the sky(Both sing):
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you
