How Could I Ever Know? Lyrics by Philip Quast, Meredith Braun

The Secret Garden (Original London Cast Recording)

0

[LILY]
How could I know I would have to leave you?
How could I know I would hurt you so?
You were the one I was born to love
Oh, how could I ever know?
How could I ever know?
How can I say to go on without me?
How when I know you still need me so?
How can I say not to dream about me?
How could I ever know?
How could I ever know?
Forgive me, can you forgive me?
And hold me in your heart
And find some new way to love me
Now that we're apart
How could I know I would never hold you?
Never again in this world, but oh
Sure as you breathe I am there inside you
How could I ever know?
How could I ever know?
[ARCHIBALD]
How can I hope to go on without you?
Where in the world would you have me go?
How can I bear not to dream about you?
How can I let you go?
[LILY]
Now you must let me go
[ARCHIBALD]
All I need is...
[LILY]
Is there in the garden
[ARCHIBALD]
All I would ask is...
[LILY]
Is care for the child of our love
Come, go with me
Safe I will keep you
[ARCHIBALD]
Where you would lead me
There I would
[LILY]
There I would, there we would
[ARCHIBALD & LILY]
There we will go
How, how could I know?
Tell me how could I know?
Now that I know you will never leave me
Now
[ARCHIBALD]
I can let you go
[LILY]
How could we know?
[ARCHIBALD]
How could I ever know?
