This is the movie version of If I Never Knew You, which was cut out of the original theatrical release of the movie but has since been fully restored and coloured in the new 10th Anniversary DVD. It was originally cut out for pacing reasons, but as has been a trend in a few of the recent Special Edition DVDs, it looked a perfect excuse to return it to where it belonged.

This page includes the lyrics of the finale reprise. If you've noticed, the finale version restored to the film only has the first two lines. The complete finale reprise was recorded by Judy Kuhn and Mel Gibson but was not included in the 10th Anniversary version. I'm guessing it's because they couldn't make the full verse fit, or they didn't want to add new animation to show the couple singing it.

There are screencaps of the work-in-progress version here.

If I never knew you
If I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be

If I never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I’d find in you
The missing part of me

In this world so full of fear
Full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear
In your eyes
So dry your eyes

And I’m so grateful to you
I’d have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you

I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we’d make the whole world bright
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
All they’d leave us were these whispers in the night
But still my heart is saying we were right
