英语歌曲:If I Never Knew You

If I Never Knew You
歌手：John Secada&Shanice 专辑：Love Theme From Pocahontas
“风中奇缘”插曲
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 missing¹ part of me

In this world so full of fear
Full of raging² 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'd make the whole world right
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
All they leave are worthless³ whispers in the night
But still my heart is saying we were right.
If I never knew you
There is no moment I regret
If I never knew this love
Since the moment that we met
I'd have no inkling of how precious life can be
If our time's auspicious⁴ as that
Is here at last.
I thought our love would be so beautiful
So beautiful...
Somehow we make the world right
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
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 ...you....
