IF I KNEW YOU AND YOU KNEW ME
          
           
          If I knew you and you knew me --
          If both of us could clearly see,
          And with an inner sight divine
          The meaning of your heart and mine --
          I'm sure that we would differ less
          And clasp our hands in friendliness;
          Our thoughts would pleasantly agree
          If I knew you and you knew me.

          If I knew you and you knew me,
          As each one knows his own self, we
          Could look each other in the face
          And see therein a truer grace.
          Life has so many hidden woes,
          So many thorns for every rose;
          The "why" of things our hearts would see,
          If I knew you and you knew me.
