LYRICS:
Jon Secada:
If I never knew you
If I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be
And 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
Shanice:
If I never knew you
I'd be safe but half as real
Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and true
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 made 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 singing
We were right
If I never knew you
There's no moment I regret
If I never knew this love
I would have no inkling of
If our time has gone too fast I've lived at last
How precious life can be
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
I thought our love would be so beautiful
We'd turn the darkness into light
And still my heart is singing
We were right
We were right
And if I never knew you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Empty as the sky
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I Never Knew You

Criminally underrated song. Never got the praise it deserves. Hell it was cut out of the damn movie, ugh.
The song was in the end credits.. and the instrumental was played in parts of the movie. Particularly at the end when Pocanhontas runs towards the ship and waves at the end where the music then turns to colors of the wind
There was a deleted scene of the characters singing it, and it was cut because it was seen by test-audiences as too depressing. You know it's rough when Disney, who made Bambi, Lion King, Snow White, Up, Pete's Dragon & Old f**king Yeller say, "We may have gone too far"...
BYE...
Until we meet again...
SweetDreams...
(",)P
@@eternityandperpetuity6191 wait until you look up the deleted scene with this song...
If you can find a copy of the 10th anniversary edition on DVD you can choose to watch the theatrical version of the film or the special version with the song put back in and that is the only version I watch and with the song put back in it makes the movie 10 times better
90's Disney love songs...there's just no comparison. I'm 34 and grew up with all these movies and still to this day, they touch my heart.
they also touch my heart too and I also grew up with all these movies too and I am 30
I really miss that, when Disney talked about love 😭
I also miss that when disney talked about love too
I'm literally in tears. These songs had substance.❤
@@enniechisha6149 They all do, everyone from So This Is Love to I See The Light
why did 90’s disney credits go so hard? who gave them the right? they didn’t have to do it, but they did. they did it for us.
Because they’re Disney Renaissance songs! XD
girl... this made me laugh so hard 🤣
FACTS^^^ True To Your Your Heart by 98 Degrees from Mulan is still my jam
The ending credit songs were all new-wave/electronica during the 1990s-onward.
The question is why aren't they doing it anymore? :(
Shanice's whistle gives me goosebumps
Same here. And both Jon and Shanice's vocal ranges just blow me away!
Disney doesn’t make love ballads like these anymore… this and beauty and beast, whole new world, I swear nothing is like them
True
The last great *Disney* love ballad was *"I See the Light"* from *_Tangled_* (2010) exquisitely sung by *Mandy Moore* and *Zachary Levi.*
do you know the genre name of these old ballads?? because I really love these three and I really want to know… I love the synthesizer echoes ❤
When it comes to Classic Disney Ballads, this song is the most sorely underrated:( in my opinion. Shanice has an incredible talent and Jon Secada's tone and ability to invoke an emotion is a gift from God himself. Would LOVE to sing this song with someone and if there's ever a live-action Pocahontas film, Disney should fr hit me up.
Does anyone else nearly cry when they listen to songs like this?
Ziggy Wynder this one and a whole new world with Peabo
What do you mean NEARLY???
Me
Ziggy Wynder I do because you either think about love lost or you think about your current love and how much you’ve faced together
There’s so much emotion in this song that’s why it makes us cry
It makes my heart sad that music isn’t like this anymore. This was beautiful
Agreed at least these aren’t going anywhere
Mainstream has been awful since post-2003. January 1, 1970-December 31, 2003 were the glory days. January 1, 2004-present is utter crap.
@@AndreNitroX YT is our time machine, pal. Never worry.
Disney needs to bring back r n b ballad versions of their main movie themes.
April 2024 still here. From south east asia.
I ALWAYS waited until the end of the tape for this
I had the cd but i never skipped the tracks
I also never skipped the tracks either I have it on dvd 📀 and on my I pod
Underrated song, there should be more recognition for how amazing it is!
+Justine A this was before social media
+Justine A true
that can be said about the whole movie...
The whole movie? Like the major plot point about 'digging for gold' in coastal Virginia? Are you sure that's underrated? or the terrible song during the climax? or the boring protagonist who falls for the first white dude she sees and then bases all of her decisions on him and his penis? The lame-ass fop villain? The magical leaves bridge the language gap (ie writers just went 'fuck it.') Two most boring mains in a disney film. The glossing over of Native genocide. Are you sure the "whole movie is underrated.?" I mean, it has some nice pastel-work, gouache-painted backgrounds and two good songs - but it's a pretty bad film in every other respect. Especially compared to the ones that preceded it.
Take it easy, leigy100. RRLnext is just saying how underrated Pocahontas is. No need to get snippy or use expletives...
Jon Secada songs are really full of emotions.. His voice is exceptional. ☝️💯
nothing like these smooth easy listening 90s ballads! soulful vocals, some saxophone, atmospheric electronic piano riffs. They are so soothing and magical to me!
My favorite kind of music
As much as I love Beauty and the Beast, this is--hands down--the best Disney song! I know there was a lot of controversy surrounding the making of the film--and rightfully so, but the soundtrack for Pocahontas was outstanding. This song is just... 😩😭💖💖💖 I love it so much!
You forgot about "A whole new world". Thats the best
@@briangrossett3381 it is still No Doubt (Where (General JM) and Why (King TW)/Kevin James and Mel Gibson/Katie Holmes🦇 and Michelle Nicastro👸).
There was? I never knew! ❤️
This was our wedding song in July, 2000
Love Pocahontas. Not a huge beauty and beast fan
RIP to our generation, the 90's
A moment of silence 😔
A wonderful time
I really miss the old Disney songs. This is a song that's being played at my wedding.
+Anthony Lumpkin I just thinking about that, to sing this song on my wedding (someday)
Anthony Lumpkin I love this song, it brings tears to my eyes 😢😢😢💙💙💙
Anthony Lumpkin doesn't sound petty either, will have this at my wedding too!
Anthony Lumpkin we have the same last name 😂
Same. This is one of my favorites besides A Whole New World and Beauty and the Beast.
Who else remembers rewinding the tape to listen to this beautiful love song as a child ❤❤❤
me ✋️
Over and over. I was obsessed lol
Back and forth to write down the lyrics as well😂😂😂
This song is one of the most romantic songs ever.....especially if you've watched the movie,it gives so much depth and emotion because Pocahontas and John Smith loved each other and taught each other so much within that short time .....and even though they had to part their own ways,they parted with the fact that they at least got the chance to know each other and that itself was enough to last them a lifetime...:')
goosebumps
Gud Rohi it is so deep
Reba
lo
Rohini G pocahontas 👍👍
Needed this ..thank you
This is the most underrated song of the 90s.
yes this is the most underrated song of the 90s
Pocahontas has the best soundtracks ever.....If I never knew you, Colours of the Wind....love them so much...
I also love them so much too
Steady as the beating drum... Just aroud the riverbend and the Hega hega ya-hi-ye chorus by the Native Americans, ❤ ...
The most underrated Disney song ever!
Disney movies from the 90s have the best songs i swear.
💯💯💯
true
My god Shanice is soooo beautiful with an amazing voice and Jon Secada is soo handsome.
I totally agree about Jon Secada. He is a handsome and talented man.
Shanice is sexy here
@@QueenTJ1991 Totally! A handsome face with a gorgeous voice!
Yes, Shanice has so much charisma. Her personality, facial expressions and attitude. I just love that girl. Many singer have not so pretty singing faces, but Shanice always looks great when she sings. Even when she has to hit a very tough note. And yes I know that this is PLAYBACK!!!...It's a music video.Go Girl!!!
+TH. Aries you made me notice
***** Yes, of course. I know that it's playback. I mean it's a music video. Look at Celine Dion. She always looks horrible weather she sings live or in a music video. Shanice always looks great when she opens her mouth
***** Yeah, but it's not because of voice issues. Celine doesn't write her own songs, nor composes or produces. And Shanice never made mainstream music. Celine has had a better promoter, record company and also sings for the french speaking market and and and. Shanice kicks Celine's ass in a competition. And where is Celine now? Gone with the wind.
***** It's not about numbers - it's about quality!!! Sorry not convinced!!! 😉
+116006224713618577982 Boy, you can say what u want. I prefer Shanice. I'm not superficial and only like an artist just because she's more successful in album sales. Sorry to make you angry, but I'm still not convinced. Celine is just a singer, nothing more. Reply what you want. I'm done and you know my opinion. So thanks for your attention. Bye girl. Don't forget: Shanice is way more talented and you know it, I'm 100% sure 😉😚😚😂😂
It's 2020 and still in love with this.. the 90's is Disney's golden age!
It was Disney’s renaissance
ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER! Whoever wrote this was inspired by the heavens!!
Bruh ive been trying to find a better written love song. Its just too much for me to handle
This is my favorite love song from ANY Disney film. It's easily the most emotional, because it's romantic and sad at the same time
@Toothpick close second
@DennisTheMenace but can you feel the love tonight isn’t sad
It's a beautiful song.
"I see the light" from Tangled is also beautiful and romantic, but this one has a lot of emotional depth ♥♥♥♥♥
Jon and Shanice tore it up! Totally phenomenal!! Beautiful song!!
So magical😊
It’s 2020 and i am still listening to this. I miss the days when Disney have the most romantic love songs. When you fall in love while watching Disney movies and you fall in love more while listening to the songs.
Growing up has left me a sucker for love stories
@@manuelorozco7760 I'm 37 now, and I'm still in love with this song. My, how time flies...
Back when I was 11, I always listen to this in a cassette radio, and It's always magical...
@@seekeroflight3310 I’m 28 now
Me too
If i never knew you is more than just a romantic song. Its about how soulmates, friends and family members make each other better even if their time is limited by circumstances.
Can I just say, there is nothing sexualized in this song. When in comparison to the popular love songs of today that talk about getting busy in the bedroom, this is about an actual love connection between two people from different worlds that are grateful to have it in the midst of it all. An actual storyline that makes sense!
Thank you.
There's nothing sexualized in this song, except the love 💘❤
Hey remember, Teddy Pendergrass's 1978 single Close the Door was about making love inside, including the bedroom. I mean, music has always been about sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, jabroni.
@@karlc2869🎶 “i don’t know how to hold your hand “ 🎶- a love song from the 1950s
when you finally find the love of your life, this song, makes complete sense. you just don't look at the world the same, and love is ultimately one of the greatest gifts.
So true. No song can better describe how we feel when we found each other. I think of my love every time i listen to this
I was just thinking that
Naol mahanap na ang true love
Haha y’all got people who love you. That’s cute.
Can't agree more....
A lot of people say that they want this played at their wedding but me I’d want this to be played at my funeral. We all have an impact on each other’s lives and I’d like for people to remember how I impacted their lives and made their world a little bit brighter.
If i get married, i hope to have a wife loving enough to sing it to me
It’s more fitting
Wow
I was already crying & you made me cry harder
this song is making me cry
Timeless. This what real music is.
A perfect wedding song. 😍💒
empty as the sky..
never knowing why.....
..lost forever..if I never knew......youuu
This line alone I have no words to describe knowing how loneliness can vex the spirit. And when you find someone how full you can feel.the writer of this song is truly blessed and I am forever grateful to them for the work
empty as the sky never knowing why lost forever if i never KOCOUM NO!!!!!!!!!!!! KOCOUM LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!!!!!!
Who Still Listening in 2019???😍
Me. 🙋♀️
Me 😍 wedding anniversary song xx
stephanie knight amazing
Victoria Austin meeeee
Forgot all about this just accidently came across it. Kinda wish i didnt haha
One of the best ballads in Disney world.
The most underrated song of History, regardless of the Disney movie it belongs to.
I know Disney movies have messages in them but Pocahontas has alot of messages in it, one of which I didn't even know til very recently, the environment, love and respect for the woods, rivers and animals that they live with, it's such a powerful movie
yes it is such a powerful movie and it always will be forever and that is the truth
This song is to my savior Jesus Christ. He saved me from my sins and has promised me a place in his kingdom after I die. Thank you my Lord Jesus for laying your life down for the sins of mankind. 🕊️✝️
Amen!!!
Amen! Yes! Jesus I you were the only one❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amen!! 🙌🙏
Anything to push your WOKE religious cult down innocent people's throats in a non religious video, get lost!!!
REPORTED FOR RELIGIOUS BULLYING AND HARASSMENT, AND FOR HATE SPEECH 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
The song "If I Never Knew You", heard over the ending credits, was cut after children in test audiences found it boring. Ironically, the adults in test audiences felt the song was too depressing. At the time, it was almost fully animated, with the exception of color. The unfinished sequence was shown in ABC's 1997 airing of this movie. For the 10th Anniversary DVD release, the animation was completed and the song inserted back into this movie, as well as a short reprise in the final scene.
LONG LIVE FOREVER THE MUSIC OF THE 90'S!
🎆🎇❇✨🎆✊😎😭
I remember finding this out and was surprised kids found it boring. As a kid, this was my favorite song lol.
Kids found it boring because they didnt have the ability to understand what it meant lol.
I loved this song when I was younger I always cried
I never knew this was the reason it was cut. I heard it was because had the song stayed in the movie, “Savages” comes on 1-2 minutes later. It was like, “We’re not about to have 2 songs back to back.”
1995, i was only 18 y.o. and in my second year college then when the animated movie "Pocahontas" debut in all theatres, and i've heard this beautiful song on the end credits of the film. It's been 24 years and it still never fades. Love this theme song.
I'm so emotional my eyes fills with tears and joy
What a beautiful time to be alive!
You're 3 years older than me
I think it would make a beautiful wedding song
Couples that hear this will probably last.
Sarah Cox lol I'm playing it at my wedding in a few months. My family doesn't want to hear Disney music, but when they hesr this version of a Disney song, they will be impressed and change their opinions about what Disney music is.
It is my wedding song
I am saddened to think we may never hear music as deep and emotional as this again. 😟
Oh love is beautiful just that feeling of excitement and butterflies
yes love is beautiful and yes it is just that feeling of excitement and butterflies
Disney has the BEST SOULFUL ballads at the end of their movies in the 90s
This was the song I picked for us. It’s so hard to believe it’s almost 30 years and you are still my greatest love. A time I will cherish till I die. It truly was magic.
The Absolute Majesty Jon Secada and Shanice Wilson-Knox brought to this. Perfection.
I could watch this 10 million times ❤❤
me too
Still listening to this song since heard this. It became my break.up song. It made me cry...
I am also still listening to this song since I also heard this too
THXs John s and shanice for our lovely bonding songs with my syhrir syhiri ❤️🌟🌟💯🌹☀️
Goosebumps and tears everytime i listen to this song😢
same here
This song was so beautiful! I remember hearing it as a kid and crying the whole time and it still has that effect😢❤❤
yes this was a beautiful song and it always will be forever and that is a promise and yes it still has that effect and it always will forever and that is the truth
This song is beautiful
yes this song is beautiful
I think that there should be a day when someone finally decides to bring back all the good movies and shows from the 80s and 90s.
Lleylanna Stewart Some of them have been brought back. The original MacGyver is on re runs and there's also a really good new remake .
Lleylanna Stewart bruno Mars is doing a good job
voltaire balagtas how stupid are you? that is not Bruno Mars.
Dis fucka thinks itz Bruno Mars😂😂😂 ur fried
I know Bruno Mars is doing great, but like Moana that give more emotions and feeling a since one of the songs is based on a true story, which there aren't really good songs from movies with actual living and breathing humans in since it's Disney who are capturing their audience more. Moana, Frozen, and Tangled should actually be in the same category as Pocahontas, Mulan, and Anastasia for those heart-melting songs. And we need more movies that shows us that women doesn't need men to always come to their rescue: Moana, Mulan, Frozen, and Pocahontas. I can't decide to put Tangled in that category as well
Getting thru a divorce, this is my comfort song...And I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you
this is also my comfort song too
They don't make the like this anymore!!! LOVE this song! Beautiful and meaningful!!!!!
I also love this song too and yes it is beautiful and meaningful
Such a beautiful song. Jon's voice is particularly gorgeous.
They killed that harmony at 3:42 !!! Ooooh like honey ! I wait for that particular part everytime
Shanice still looking just as beautiful today 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 this voice of hers is completely incredible!!!!!💜💜💙💙
yes shanice is still looking just as beautiful today and yes her voice is completely incredible
What a uniquely beautiful and brilliantly talented black woman she is inside and out any man would be extremely blessed to have such a woman for his own!
Bittersweet 💔😫
This was one of my first endings like this
Bring back this much simpler time please...
back in the days where songs are real and true.
im 40yo and very lucky to experience 90s best music.
I'm 36 and right there with ya! ❤️👍
Beautiful voices!!!! 🙅♀️❤🙅♀️❤🙅♀️
yes they do have beautiful voices
This so beautiful ❤❤❤
yes this is so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful song about love, I really miss the old time when thay made great movies and great songs.
Such a beautiful song
yes this is such a beautiful song
21 years old and this song still hits me just as strong when I heard it the first time, will never ever grow out of it💜
I am 30 years old and this song also still hits me just as strong when I also heard it the first time too and I also will never ever grow out of it too
Pocahontas is my favo Disney movie, this song makes me in love.. i may find my prince! #LoveDisneyPocahontas!!! 😍😍😍
Pocahontas is also my favorite disney movie too and it also makes me in love too
I loved the music of the 90s .
Gorgeous! It's so ...delicated the sound of this Song!
The Directors of Pocahontas missed out by not putting this song into the final cut of the movie, such a shame that such a beautiful song never made it into the movie. But at least one the VHS version of the movie people could listen to it after the ending credits.
Gives me goose bumps
also gives me goosebumps too
Absolutely beautiful song and beautiful singers...😍😍😍
yes this is a absolutely beautiful song and beautiful singers
Knowing someone that we care about, builds a good foundation for a productive relationship. Spirituality is knowing The One, and being like Him.
Miss hearing this Wonderful Music🎶.Sounds even better over the years. It will Never sound outdated. It is truly timeless!💞
I also miss hearing this wonderful music too and yes it will never be outdated and that is a promise and yes it is truly timeless 💞
I always loved this song but I came back to listen to it and smile 😊 after seeing a livestream. Today, two of my closet RUclipsrs got married at Walt Disney World; witnessing this special occasion made my heart glow but I was in tears when one of my friends 👫 was preparing his wedding 👰🏼 🎩 vows and he said a few of the lyrics from this song to say in front of his wife - as it is her favourite song. Listening to them makes me realise how a Disney song can touch many hearts in not just couples in marriages but through any person in any relationship. Shaun and Caroline, I’m so happy 😀 for you both. May your happily ever after be filled with happiness and love. Everyone in the Disney RUclips community loves you both. Congratulations! ♥️🦋✨
I also always loved this song too and I also came back to listen to it and smile 😊 too
Cruel world I miss when Jon Secada used to be in music channels, billboards and all kind of music mainstream; I’m still listening his music 🎶😍
Such a gorgeous woman
My favorite disney song of all time..❤❤❤
this is also my favorite disney song of all time too
Love this song,, this like time cupsule,,, remind me when i was high school,,, ❤❤
I also love this song too
The electric piano of 90s R&B love ballads. I love it so. It warms my soul!!!🥰🥰🥰
We need more music like it today
This song is so special.😭🌌😍🙌🏽
yes this song is so special
OMG! I just discovered this song and Shanice's voice after watching the movie Pocahontas for the first time. Took my breath away.
your picture is so pretty
Yeah,it did.Very beautiful.😂
Definitely breath taking :')
Samanthao49 you
Brings tears to my eyes every time.
this also brings tears to my eyes every time too
OMG! What a beautiful song!!! 😍😍😍😍😍 I was born in the year Pocahontas came out, and my 2nd birthday's theme was Pocahontas lol so good to know this movie has such a beautiful song 😍😍😍😍
Love the song.. Inspiring...
I also love the song too
These songs could awaken a weary heart. Believe in love and reconcile with it if you have lost the ability to love. This song is a great example of that.
Loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Being loved by someone deeply gives you
strength.
A beautiful duet, beautiful song, still sound good in 2017!!!!
yes this is a beautiful duet and a beautiful song
3:22 my heart lives for that key change, it truly accentuates the emotion in this song!
Jon Secada is a freaking legend. Legend...
WHAT. A. SONG. Like damn!! Blame the antsy toddlers who didn’t like it in the movie. JUST as good as colors of the wind to me. Just timelessly gorgeous.
🥹🥹Such a breathtaking, tender 90s duet! 💕
Best Underrated Disney song ever. Love the video how they project the film on all the buildings of New York City.
Even, though, I've been there for five times in a year.
@@jamesfields4722 I think what he was trying to say is New York is the port city where many enter America.
@@misfitbrit1989 Oh yeah.
This is one of the most romantic Disney Princess songs ever. It will always have a special place in my heart and my memories
yes this is one of the most romantic disney princess songs ever and it will also always have a special place in my heart and in my memories too
In my heart forever 💝
also in my heart forever too 💝
I remember watching Pocahontas on VHS, the green one, and after the credits, there was the portuguese version, also featuring Jon Secada and in the very end was a video featuring disney world, always made me cry cause i knew I would never be able to go there, but still, my favourite movie growing up.
this is also still my favorite movie growing up too and it always will be forever and that is the truth
