Para Ricardo Formigal... R.I.P.

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.
I'm so grateful to you I'd have lived my whole life through lost forever,
If I never knew you.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/john_secada_shanice/if_i_never_knew_you.html ]
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. If I never knew this love
I would have no inkling of how precious life can be...

There's no moment I regret since the moment that we met.
If our time has gone too fast I've lived at last...

I thought our love would be so beautiful.
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright.
I thought our love would be so beautiful.
We'd turn the darkness into light.
And still my heart is saying 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...
