I Never Knew

It's really been a long time
Since I let somebody hold me
Since I felt safe in
Somebody's arms

You were a good friend I could confide in
But after all the lies he told me
I couldn't let nobody in my heart
I was torn apart

All this time you've been right here
He's been doing nothing but wrong
And though the best thing in my life was
Here with me all along

I never knew
Right beside me there was an angel
I never knew
You'd give my heart the wings to fly

Because of you
Everything in my life is changing
Turning it to
The kind of Heaven that I never knew

He kissed away my tears
And now they've disappeared
You made me feel safe in somebody's arms
You're the kind that can do me no harm

These questions everybody asks me
They say they've never seen me so happy
But that's a secret between you and me
They don't know nothing about us baby

Can't let up, can't tell anybody that
You're not from around here
They don't know that you're an angel
But now it's all so clear

I never knew
Right beside me there was an angel
I never knew
You'd give my heart the wings to fly

Because of you
Everything in my life is changing
Turning it to
The kind of Heaven that I never knew

Is this a dream?
Are you for real?
You got me honey
Feeling things that I never thought I'd feel

You taught me love
Don't have to break my heart in two
That's just one more of those things
That I never, never knew

I never knew
Right beside me there was an angel
I never knew
You'd give my heart the wings to fly

Because of you
Everything in my life is changing
Turning it to
The kind of Heaven that I never knew
The kind of Heaven that I never knew

Never, never knew I never never knew
