If I Never Knew You If I Never Knew You

Shanice with John Secada - Pocahontas Soundtrack


(Man)
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

(Woman)
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

(Man)
I thought our love would be so beautiful

(Woman)
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

(Woman)
If I never knew you
If I never knew this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be

(Man)
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

(Woman)
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

(Man)
We were right
And If I never knew you
I'd have lived my whole life through

(Woman)
Empty as the sky

(Both)
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you

From both their point of view. If Mulder never knew Scully he would never have found love, the other half of his soul. In his world of deception and darkness, she it the truth and the light. He owes her everything, he'd be lost without her. If Scully never knew him she might be safe, as a teacher at Quantico or perhaps a doctor at some hospital, but she wouldn't he nearly as happy or complete. Together they thought they could make a difference, fight the lies and make the world a better place, but they didn't know how dangerous it was to love. They are each other's weakness so they must hide their feelings. He doesn't regret loving her, at least he has her love. If they had never met, life would be empty without knowing why.
