I Never Knew Lyrics

I don't think of heaven

that's not where you are

So why, in the night sky

Do I see you as a star?

Have you returned to the

Dust from which you were made?

Or an echo of a memory

that one day has to fade?

I never knew I'd miss you

Quite as much as I do

And the last time that I kissed you

I don't think about hell

Maybe better if I did

Too many things I wasn't proud of

And so I kept them hid

I didn't want to disappoint you

Even though I knew you'd forgive

Your flame has been extinguished

With so much still to give

I never knew I'd miss you

Quite as much as I do

And the last time that I kissed you

I know this must be home

Even though it seems unreal

I wish that I'd done more

To show you how I feel.

You'd say don't be foolish

If you were sat here today

Go and live my own life

your star will light my way

I never knew I'd miss you

Quite as much as I do

And the last time that I kissed you

I never knew I'd miss you

Quite as much as I do

And the last time that I kissed you

When you said our love was true
