If I Never Knew You

[Jennifer]

Of all this Disney songs, this one has the most hard core love meaning for me. It's lyrics are wonderfully written; and with so much meaning! It's not a fun, joyful song like A Whole New World, but more of a heart-felt declaration of love. To some it up, it's a very adult love song.

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:
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 saying
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...

Smith:
I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
empty as the sky

Pocahontas:
Never knowing why

Both:
Lost forever
If I never knew you

[Natalie]

I know. It is like the most touching love song I have ever heard. Absolutely beautiful.

[Jennifer]

It really is. I listen to it whenever I feel like hearing something moving and meaningful.

[Denise]

Yes it is one of the best disney songs ever.

[Jennifer]

I'm glad they at least included it in the soundtrack, even if not in the movie at first... I'm also glad they made a movie and put it in as a scene.

[Natalie]

Me too...I love that scene so much. I am glad they included the Pop version on the soundtrack also.

[Jennifer]

Yes, it was better than not having it at all. I was so into this song back in '99. I listened to it over and over on vacation.

[Denise]

I love this song it is wounderful.

[Jennifer]

I like how intimate it is in such a modest setting. An indian hut... Who would have thought?

[Natalie]

I would be scared out of my mind to be in an Indian hut knowing I was going to die the next day...I would be scared out of my mind to in an Indian hut period!!!

[Jennifer]

Yes, poor John Smith. He is very brave.

[Natalie]

Dang right he is. I would go mad!

[Jennifer]

Wah? How did the lyrics get there?

[Natalie]

It was I!!!!

[Jennifer]

Figured as much...
