If I Never Knew You - Jon Secada

(male solo)
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.


(female solo)
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.


(male solo)
I thought our love would be so beautiful
(female solo)
Somehow we make the whole world right
(duet)
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
All they leave are worthless whispers in the night
But still my heart is saying we were right.


(female solo)
If I never knew you
(male solo)
There is no moment I regret
(female solo)
If I never knew this love
(male solo)
Since the moment that we met
(female solo)
I'd have no inkling of how precious life can be
(male solo)
If our time's auspicious as that
Is here at last.


(duet)
I thought our love would be so beautiful
(female solo)
So beautiful...
(duet)
Somehow we make the world right
(female solo)
I thought our love would be so beautiful
We turn the darkness into light
(duet)
And still my heart is saying we were right.


(male solo)
We were right
And if I never knew you
(female solo)
And if I never knew you
(male solo)
I'd have lived my whole life through
(duet)
Empty as the sky
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you
