You Never Knew About Me [Miss 1917] Songtext
We were children once long ago, dear, you and I.. At the start, our lives lay apart as lives will lie.
Up I grew and I never knew that the world contained a darling like you.
Now did you dream you would see little me, too, by and by?
I never knew about you, dear, and you never knew about me.
Life might have been heaven if I then age seven had but met you when you were three
We'd have made mud pies like infinities, we'd known what rapture may be
But I never knew about you, ah, what might have been, and you never knew about me.
How I wish I'd known, dear, that one day you'd arrive, just to feel I had an ideal for which to strive.
Had I known I'd meet you, my own, I would not have lived for pleasure alone.
I was frivolous and gay, sad to say, when I was five.
I never knew about you, dear, and you never knew about me.
I never missed chances at juvenile dances, oh, my life was one mad spree.
I was often kissed ?neath the mistletoe by small boys excited with tea
If I'd known that you existed, I'd have scratched them and resisted, dear,
But I never knew about you, oh, the pain of it, and you never knew about me.

I'd have let you feed about my rabbit till the thing became a habit, dear,
Up I grew and I never knew that the world contained a darling like you.
Now did you dream you would see little me, too, by and by?
I never knew about you, dear, and you never knew about me.
Life might have been heaven if I then age seven had but met you when you were three
We'd have made mud pies like infinities, we'd known what rapture may be
But I never knew about you, ah, what might have been, and you never knew about me.
How I wish I'd known, dear, that one day you'd arrive, just to feel I had an ideal for which to strive.
Had I known I'd meet you, my own, I would not have lived for pleasure alone.
I was frivolous and gay, sad to say, when I was five.
I never knew about you, dear, and you never knew about me.
I never missed chances at juvenile dances, oh, my life was one mad spree.
I was often kissed ?neath the mistletoe by small boys excited with tea
If I'd known that you existed, I'd have scratched them and resisted, dear,
But I never knew about you, oh, the pain of it, and you never knew about me.
