If I Never Knew You Lyrics - Singles - Shanice Wilson

(duet with Jon Secada from Pochahontas soundtrack) 

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 knew 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 made the whole world bright 

Both: 

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 singing 

We were right 

Shanice: 

If I never knew you 

If I never knew this love 

I would have no inkling of 

How precious life can be 

Jon: 

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: 

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 

Both: 

And still my heart is singing 

We were right 

Jon: 

We were right 

And if I never knew you 

I'd have lived my whole through 

Shanice: 

Empty as the sky 

Both: 

Never knowing why 

Lost forever
