Disney makes me cry
This song, totally caught me offgaurd today while I was nannying. I think I scared the kids because I started crying so hard.
The lyrics, even though to some might be cheesy, are perfect to describe how I've been feeling for 6 months. Above all the sadness, and the anxiety, and the tears, and the general sense of loss- I feel so grateful and thrilled that I found the missing part of me.
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
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
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
If I never knew this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be
There's no moment I regret
Since the moment that we met
If our time has gone too fast
I've lived at last...
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
I thought our love would be so beautiful
We'd turn the darkness into light
And still my heart is singing
We were right
We were right
And If I never knew you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Empty as the sky
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you

wow...haven't watched this movie in a while, and forgot about this song. How perfectly beautiful, and so true how it can relate to us right now. Thanks for posting the link. I needed that.
nooo weighhhh!!!! this has always been my FAVORITE Disney love song. always. and i oft sing and play it on the piano. everyone makes fun of me, they think it's cheesy but i think it is incredibly beautiful! and totally relevant to your life. :)
and your balloon idea is utterly and completely whole-heartedly romantic. i want yours and Brandon's story to be a movie.
best. song. ever.
i've always been a sentimental smuck and when i was little i used to rewind this song at the end of the video and never understood why it wasnt in the movie for the whole time.
now i know though that it's to shield the child of the awkward moment that would arise when they noticed their parent, babysitter, older brother cry from it's sweetness.
