If I Never Knew You - End Title / From "Pocahontas" / Soundtrack Version

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
 ♪
 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
 I thought our love would be so beautiful
 Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
 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
 If I never knew you (there's no moment I regret)
 If I never knew you (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 (so beautiful)
 Somehow we made the whole world bright
 I thought our love would be so beautiful
 We turn the darkness into light
 And still my heart is saying we were right
 We were right
 And if I never knew you (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
