I Never Knew

Song Title: I never Knew
Artist : Gloria Gaynor
ItÂ’s really been a long time
Since I let somebody hold me
Since I felt safe in somebodyÂ’s arms, emm emm
You were a good friend I could confide in
But after all the lies he told me
I couldnÂ’t let nobody in my heart
I was torn apart
All this time youÂ’ve been right here
HeÂ’s been doing nothing but wrong
And though the best thing in my life was
Here with me all along
Chorus:
I never knew
Right beside me there was an angel
I never knew
YouÂ’d give my heart the wings to fly
Because of you
Everything in my life is changing
Turning into
The kind of heaven that I never Knew
He kissed away my tears
And now theyÂ’ve disappeared
You made me feel safe in somebody´s arms
YouÂ’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 nothin' 'bout us baby
Can't let up
CanÂ’t tell anybody that youÂ’re not from around here
They donÂ’t know that youÂ’re an angel
But now itÂ’s all so clear
Chorus
I never knew
Right beside me there was an angel
I never knew
YouÂ’d give my heart the wings to fly
Because of you
Everything in my life is changing
Turning into
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 IÂ’d feel
You taught me love
DonÂ’t have to break my heart in two
ThatÂ’s just one more of those things
That I never, never knew
I never knew
Right beside me
There was an angel
I never, never knew (that my heart could fly)
ItÂ’s all because of you baby
My life is changing
Turning into
The kind of heaven that I never knew
