mercedes lackey, margie butler & paul espinoza - how could i have known lyrics

[chorus]
how could i have known my words would have such power?
how could i have known a curse would be my cry?
how could i have known misfortune she’d acquire?
how could i have known such magic was nearby?

[verse 1]
i only wanted a daughter, who would treat me the way i treated her
i only wanted a daughter who would let me be a friend to her
kiss me on the cheek and say “good morning”
maybe bring me a flower from the fields
maybe stay and share the day together
surely she must know how it hurts me so, surеly she must know the way i feel

[chorus]
how could i have known my words would havе such power?
how could i have known a curse would be my cry?
how could i have known misfortune she’d acquire?
how could i have known such magic was nearby?

[verse 2]
see how she sleeps away the daylight, off she runs, a child of the night
hastens into the dark of evening, to think where she might go causes me fright
maybe she has found some kind of trouble
maybe evil ways have found her too
maybe she has found a secret lover
surely she must know how it hurts me so, surely she must know what i go through
[chorus]
how could i have known my words would have such power?
how could i have known a curse would be my cry?
how could i have known misfortune she’d acquire?
how could i have known such magic was nearby?

[verse 3]
see how i wept beside the water, see how my heart was sorely agonized
see how baneful magic cursed my daughter, i wish somehow i would have realized
“life’s too short to sleep away the daylight”
words i spoke beside a magic pool
words that put her into daytime slumber
how could i have been in such oblivion, how could i have been such a fool?

[outro]
how could i have known that i would be the charmer
to condemn her to the shadows of the night
