You’ll never know (if an apple is ripe) song lyrics

You’ll never know song lyrics – (1941) Music by Nacio Herb Brown, Lyrics by Arthur Freed, Sung by Ann Sothern in Lady Be Good

You’ll never know if an apple is ripe, ‘til you bite it
You’ll never know if a fire is gonna burn, ‘til you light it
You’ll never know what it means to be blue, ‘til you’ve lost an old friend
You’ll never know how long is your road, ‘til you’ve reached the end.

You’ll never know how good a book may be, ‘til you’ve read it
You’ll never know what one kind word can do, ‘til you’ve said it
You and I could find romance, but darling, ‘til you take the chance
You never, never, never ever know.
