If I Never Knew You

Pocahontas (Shanice), John Smith (Jon Secada) 
Music: Alan Menken Lyrics: Stephen Schwartz

Smith: 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 

Pocahontas: 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 

Smith: I thought our love would be so beautiful 

Pocahontas:Somehow we made the whole world bright 

Both: 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

Pocahontas: If I never knew you 
If I never knew this love 
I would have no inkling of 
How precious life can be 

Smith: 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 

Pocahontas: 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 

Smith: We were right And If I never knew you
 I'd have lived my whole life through 

Pocahontas: Empty as the sky 

Both: Never knowing why 
Lost forever If I never knew you
