Lyrics

[00:06.87] Gloria Gaynor
[00:10.87] I Never Knew
[00:14.81] ( 2002 US 5-track promo CD Single )
[00:16.80]
[00:18.74] It's really been a long time
[00:22.36] Since I let somebody hold me
[00:25.63] Since I felt safe in somebody's arms, emm emm
[00:32.65] You were a good friend I could confide in
[00:36.61] But after all the lies he told me
[00:40.31] I couldn't let nobody in my heart
[00:44.29] I was torn apart
[00:48.33] All this time you've been right here
[00:52.03] He's been doing nothing but wrong
[00:55.42] And though the best thing in my life was
[00:59.88] Here with me all along
[01:02.22]
[01:03.22] I never knew
[01:07.00] Right beside me there was an angel
[01:10.86] I never knew
[01:14.77] You'd give my heart the wings to fly
[01:18.62] Because of you
[01:22.51] Everything in my life is changing
[01:26.45] Turning it to
[01:29.86] The kind of heaven that I never knew
[01:38.96]
[01:39.03] He kissed away my tears
[01:43.75] And now they've disappeared
[01:46.99] You make me feel safe in somebody's arms
[01:50.41] You're the kind that can do me no harm
[01:54.20] These questions everybody asks me
[01:57.97] They say they've never seen me so happy
[02:01.76] But that's a secret between you and me
[02:05.89] They don't know nothing about us baby
[02:09.98] Can't let up
[02:11.56] Can't tell anybody that you're not from around here
[02:17.28] They don't know that you're an angel
[02:21.38] But now it's all so clear
[02:24.22]
[02:25.05] I never knew
[02:28.40] Right beside me there was an angel
[02:32.29] I never knew
[02:36.12] You'd give my heart the wings to fly
[02:40.07] Because of you
[02:43.93] Everything in my life is changing
[02:47.84] Turning it to
[02:51.61] The kind of heaven that I never knew
[02:58.15]
[03:01.96] Is this a dream
[03:05.38] Are you for real
[03:08.11] You got me honey
[03:11.18] Feeling things that I never thought I'd feel
[03:16.90] You taught me love
[03:18.78] Don't have to break my heart in two
[03:22.85] That's just one more of those things
[03:27.99] That I never, never knew
[03:30.37]
[03:33.01] I never knew
[03:37.18] Right beside me
[03:38.75] There was an angel
[03:41.02] I never, never knew
[03:45.47] (that my heart could fly)
[03:48.49] It's all because of you baby
[03:52.44] My life is changing
[03:56.16] Turning it to
[03:58.12] The kind of heaven that I never knew
[04:05.13] The kind of heaven that I never knew
[04:11.65]
[04:14.91] And never never knew
