Hal Ketchum And Shelby Lynne – If I Never Knew You lyrics

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
