A scene from Pocahontas 1995
Pocahontas

[John Smith is imprisoned after Kocoum's death.]

I'm so sorry.

John Smith

For what? This? I've gotten out of worse scrapes than this. Can't think of any right now, but...

Pocahontas

It would have been better if we'd never met. None of this would've happened.

John Smith

[spoken]

Pocahontas, look at me. [she obeys] I'd rather die tomorrow that live a hundred years without knowing you. [singing] If I never knew you / If I never felt this love / I would have no inkling of how precious life can be / If I never knew 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

Pocahontas

[singing]

I thought our love would be so beautiful / Somehow we'd make 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 saying we were right / For if I never knew you

John Smith

There's no moment I regret / Since the moment that we met / If I time has gone too fast / I've lived at last...

Pocahontas

[singing]

If I never knew this love / I would have no inkling of / If I precious can be...

Nakoma

[spoken] [peering in through the tent flap]

Pocahontas.

Pocahontas

I can't leave you.

John Smith

[spoken]

You never will. No matter what happens to me, I'll always be with you, forever. [singing] And I'm so grateful to you / I'd have lived my whole life through / Empty as the sky

Pocahontas

[singing]

Never knowing why

Pocahontas and John Smith

[singing]

Lost forever / If I never knew you...
