If I Knew You
IF I KNEW YOU I’D THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME
DOES YOUR HEART HURT WHEN A BABY CRIES
WHAT GREATER GIFT COULD YOU GIVE TO ME, CHOOSE FOR ME,
WANT WITH ALL YOU HEART TO BE,
YOU LIFTED ME UP AND SAID GOODBYE
DOES YOUR CHEEK HAVE A BEAUTY MARK LIKE MINE
DO YOU SCARE IN THE DARK?
IF I COULD TELL YOU NOT TO WORRY
‘CAUSE YOU COULDN’T SEE WHERE I’D BE
IF YOU KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW
HE GAVE US LIFE, LOVE, AND GRACE.
NOW HERE I AM IN A CAFÉ SIPPING GREEN TEA
DREAMING OF THE DAY WE’LL MEET
WHEN YOU ARRIVE WILL I LOOK LIKE YOU, SOUND LIKE YOU,
LAUGH WITH ALL MY HEART LIKE YOU,
WHAT DO YOU THINK, ABOUT KNOWING ME?
DO YOU SING WHEN YOU HAVE ME ON YOUR MIND
DO YOUR EYES SPARKLE WHEN YOU DANCE?
SACRIFICE LED ME INTO A LOVING FAMILY
THANK GOD HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING THAT DAY
IF I COULD TELL YOU NOT TO WORRY
‘CAUSE YOU COULDN’T SEE WHERE I’D BE
IF YOU KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW
HE GAVE US LIFE, LOVE, AND GRACE.
LIFE, LOVE AND GRACE, LOVE AND GRACE.
