If Tomorrow Never Comes
Christer Sjögren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes
The lyrics to Christer Sjögren's song "If Tomorrow Never Comes" is a powerhouse of emotion and reflection. The singer-songwriter takes us through his inner thoughts in the wee hours of the morning. As he watches his significant other sleep, he ponders about the kind of relationship they share - whether he has done enough to show his partner his love and appreciation for her. There is a profound sense of tenderness in the way Sjögren muses about the possibility of his life ending and how it would affect his loved ones, particularly his partner. He is haunted by the idea of leaving her in a world without him, wondering if the love he gave her in the past is enough to last.
The song is a gentle reminder of the profundity of life and how the sudden end of a loved one can bring feelings of regret and emptiness if we haven't expressed our love and appreciation for them fully. Sjögren urges us to seize the moment and tell those we care for that we love them before it's too late. The song's overarching themes are love, life, regret, and reflection.

Sometimes late at night
During my late night hours
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
I stay awake and watch her sleeping peacefully
She's lost in peaceful dreams
She's lost in her dreams and is at peace
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
I turn off the lights and lie there in the dark beside her
And the thought crosses my mind
The thought comes across my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
If I don't wake up the next morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
Would she doubt my feelings for her?
About her in my heart
The way I feel about her in my heart
If tomorrow never comes
If I don't get to see the next day
Will she know how much I loved her
Will she know the extent of my love for her?
Did I try in every way to show her every day
Have I tried in every way, every day to show her?
That she's my only one
That she's the only one for me
And if my time on earth were through
And if I were to die
And she must face this world without me
If she has to face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Is the love I gave her enough
Gonna be enough to last
To last her for the rest of her life?
'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Because I've lost loved ones in my life earlier
Who never knew how much I loved them
Who never knew the depth of my love for them
Now I live with the regret
Now I feel regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
That my true feelings were never expressed
So I made a promise to myself
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
To express to her every day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
And avoid an event in which
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel
There is no second chance to express my feelings for her
So tell that someone that you love
So if you love someone
Just what you're thinking of
Tell them what you're thinking
If tomorrow never comes
If you don't get to see them the next day
