Lyrics
John Smith: If I never knew you If I never felt this love I would have no inkling of How precious life can be

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'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 For if I never knew you

John Smith: There's no moment I regret

Pocahontas: If I never knew this love

John Smith: Since the moment that we met

Pocahontas: I would have no inkling of

John Smith: If our time has gone too fast

Pocahontas: How precious life can be...

John Smith: I've lived at last...

(Instrumental)

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

Pocahontas: Never knowing why

John Smith and Pocahontas: Lost forever If I never knew you
