We Didn't Know

(Duet with Stevie Wonder)



Since I don't know when

We've been only friends

No more but no less

Our friendship we had at best



A voice to console

An ear to confide

That someone you tell

Your deepest of feelings inside





But we didn't know

When we held each other it would feel so right

We didn't know

On that night we'd be falling in love

I looked at you

You looked at me

In ways we never thought we would be

But like tomorrow's today's mystery

We didn't know



Be it big, be it small

On you I could call

Nothing but to ask

You'd be right there in a flash



A hand I could hold

That friend I could trust

But the love that we shared

Was just platonic between us



(Chorus)



That's what happens when innocent friends

Turn serious lovers

And we're so happy that we've fallen in love

And still can be best of friends



When they'd break your heart

And when they'd make you cry

We both would confer

You should give love one more try



We searched everywhere

For true love to find

Yet who'd think it ws us

That we were longing for all the time



Cause we didn't know

When we held each other it would feel so right

We didn't know

On that night we'd be falling in love

I looked at you

And you looked at me

In ways we never thought we would  be

But just like the future no one can see

We didn't know



(Chorus)
