If Tomorrow Never Comes
Joose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She'lost in peaceful dreams
So I turned out the light
As I lay there in the dark
And a thought crosses my mind
If I never wake in the morning
Will 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
She's my only one.
If my time on earth were through
She must face this world without me
So the love I gave her in the past
Would it 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's no second chance
to tell her how I feel

If tomorrow never comes
will she know how much I loved her,(how much I loved her)
Did I try in every way
To show her every day
she's my only one.
If my time on earth were through
She must face this world without me
So the love I gave her in the past
Would it be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
So tell it to someone that you love




Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes.

Sometimes late at night
At times when the night is dark and quiet


I lie awake and watch her sleeping
I stay up and gaze at her sleeping peacefully


She's lost in peaceful dreams
She's asleep, engrossed in a peaceful dream


So I turned out the light
So, I switched off the light


As I lay there in the dark
As I lay there in the darkness


And a thought crosses my mind
A thought strikes my mind


If I never wake in the morning
If I don't wake up in the morning


Will she ever doubt
Will she ever question


The way I feel about her, in my heart
My true feelings about her, that I hold in my heart


If tomorrow never comes
If there is no tomorrow


Will she know how much I loved her
Will she realize how much I loved her


Did I try in every way
Did I make every effort


To show her every day
To demonstrate to her each day


She's my only one.
That she's my one and only


If my time on earth were through
If my life on earth ends


She must face this world without me
She must continue to lead her life without me


So the love I gave her in the past
So the love I had given her in the past


Would it be enough to last
Would it suffice to sustain her


Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Because I have lost my loved ones in my life


Who never knew how much I loved them
Who were unaware of how deeply I loved them


Now I live with the regret, that my true feelings for them
Now I live with the feeling of remorse that I couldn't express my true feelings to them


Never were revealed,
Which were never disclosed


So I made a promise to myself
So I vowed to myself


To say each day how much she means to me
To express every day how much she matters to me


And avoid that circumstance
And evade that situation


Where's no second chance
Where there's no opportunity to try again


to tell her how I feel
to communicate my feelings to her


So tell it to someone that you love
So express it to someone you adore


Just what you're thinking of
Precisely what's on your mind


If tomorrow never comes.
If there is no tomorrow.

If my time on earth were through
She must face this world without me
So the love I gave her in the past
Would it be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
So tell it to someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes.
