(Hal Ketchum and Shelby Lynne)

|
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
|
|
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 made the whole world bright.
|
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.
|
|
If I never knew you;
|
(There's no moment I regret.)
|
If I never knew this love.
|
(Since the moment that we met.)
|
I would have no inkling of,
|
(If our time has gone too fast.)
|
How precious life can be.
|
(I've lived at last...)
|
|
I thought our love would be so beautiful;
|
Somehow we made the whole world bright.
|
I thought our love would be so beautiful,
|
We'd turn the darkness into light.
|
And still my heart is singing, 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.
