Never Knew — текст песни (Stephen Speaks)

(r. ripperger )

well i know we`ve both come so far to be here
and we`re both twice the man we used to be
cause we`ve made it through the fall and through the winter
and i`ve got myself together as you can see
though more than once i`ve doubted your decision
you once told me a man must do what he`s got to do
things are so bad, after all i`ve made it this far
and it`s clear to me you`re hangin in there too

{ but i wish for all my life you could have been there
when i climbed up high & fell down far below
and i wish you could have seen the fire in my eyes
when i found my dreams and refused to let them go}

but for now i`ve got to say goodbye again
and go back into my life without you
ya know, it never dawned on me what i was missing
until i had a glimpse of what i never knew
and now we leave as such a civil people
like business men after a rendezvous
and we say next time we`ll stay here a little longer
and we`ll discuss all the things we`ve just got to do
{chorus}
maybe someday my dreams will be complete
and we both will know what it would have been
but you`ve got to promise me you won`t accept defeat
that you`ll run this race until we meet again
that you`ll run this race until we reach the end
{chorus}
