[Jon:]
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'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'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you
[Shanice:]
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
[Jon:]
I thought our love would be so beautiful
[Shanice:]
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
[Jon & Shanice:]
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
All they'd leave us were these whispers in the night
But still my heart is saying we were right
[Shanice:]
Oh if I never knew you
[Jon:]
There's no moment I regret
[Shanice:]
If I never felt this love
[Jon:]
Since the moment that we met
[Shanice:]
I would have no inkling of
[Jon:]
If our time has gone too fast
[Shanice:]
How precious life can be
[Jon:]
I've lived at last
[Jon & Shanice:]
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
[Shanice:]
I thought our love would be so beautiful
We'd turn the darkness into light
[Jon & Shanice:]
And still my heart is saying we were right
[Jon:]
We were right
And if I never knew you
[Shanice:]
If I never knew you
[Jon:]
I'd have lived my whole life through
[Shanice:]
Empty as the sky
[Jon & Shanice:]
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you
