IF I NEVER KNEW YOU (POCAHONTAS, 1995)

“My daughter speaks with the wisdom beyond her years. We've all come here with anger in our hearts, but she comes with courage and understanding. From this day forward, if there is to be more killing, it will not start with me.” – Powhatan

The actual love theme of Disney's Pocahontas. Singers Jon Secada and Shanice duet for the song If I Never Knew You that speaks for the love between Pocahontas (Irene Bedard) and Capt. John Smith (Mel Gibson). One of the few based on true character the famous animated studio has ever made.



IF I NEVER KNEW YOU
sung by: Jon Secada & Shanice

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

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 singing
We were right

If I never knew you
(There's no moment I regret)
If I never knew this love
(Since the moment that we met)
I would have no inkling of
(If our time has gone too fast)
How precious life can be
(I've lived at last...)

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

Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you
