Lyrics I Never Knew - Della Reese

It was a cold day in December
I remember it so well
You captured my whole being
And you left me in a spell

You warmed my heart with passion
Desiring all of you
You left me cold in the summer
I wish that I only knew but-

I never knew that you would be the one
To come along and snatch my heart and run
Away from me with no explanation why
I never knew what we had would die
All I wanna do is hide away
From all the hurt and pain of yesterday
Don′t you see the tears, the hurt inside?
I never knew, please tell me why

All the nights you left me crying
Keeping company with my fears
That some day you'd leave me lonely
And that′s exactly what you did
I swore that I was your baby
The darkest night for you I'd bear
Now that I need you here with me
I call your name and you're not there

You left me standing
So empty-handed
Out in the cold
How was I to know
That my love didn′t matter
And my world was shattered
′Cause you left me here
Drowning in tears, oh why?

I never knew that you would be the one
To come along and snatch my heart and run
Away from me with no explanation why
I never knew what we had would die
All I wanna do is hide away
From all the hurt and pain of yesterday
Don't you see the tears, the hurt inside?
I never knew, please tell me why

After we made plans to spend our lives together
I thought what we had was meant to be forever
Oh why did our love have to go away?
I don′t know how, I don't know when
But I know, I′ll never love this way again

I never knew that you would be the one
To come along and snatch my heart and run
Away from me with no explanation why
I never knew what we had would die
All I wanna do is hide away
From all the hurt and pain of yesterday
Don't you see the tears, the hurt inside?
I never knew, please tell me why

I never knew that you would be the one
To come along and snatch my heart and run
Away from me with no explanation why
I never knew what we had would die
All I wanna do is hide away
From all the hurt and pain of yesterday
Don′t you see the tears, the hurt inside?
I never knew, please tell me why

I never knew, I never knew
I never knew it could be like this
