Robert has made his home in Ireland for over a decade. He served his apprenticeship in Country Music since he first arrived here and is now one of the top Country artists in Ireland, his popularity spreading with extensive airplay in Europe and such distant territories as Australia.
As anyone who ever attended a Robert Mizzell show will testify, Robert with his band The Country Kings put on an energy filled show. Brimming with Country flavor his shows appeal to audiences in Nashville and wherever Country Music is popular.
He is honored to have been able to record with Collin Raye this year :
"I got chatting with Collin afterwards at a gig in Helix in Dublin, and he was saying that he really enjoyed my part of the show.Then I told him that I had this song that I always liked and that I'd love to record it with him. Its called Murder on Music Row which was a hit for Alan Jackson & George Strait. Straight up Collin Said "Lets Do it" and the rest is history."
Robert currently resides near Mullingar in Westmeath, Ireland.

If Tomorrow Never Comes
ROBERT MIZZELL 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 song "If Tomorrow Never Comes" by Robert Mizzell is a poignant reflection on the fragility of life and the importance of expressing love and appreciation for those we cherish. The singer describes lying awake at night, watching his partner sleeping peacefully and wondering if she would truly know how much he loved her if he were to never wake up in the morning. As he reflects on the loss of loved ones who never knew how much he loved them, he resolves to make a promise to himself to express his feelings more openly and to avoid the regret of unspoken love.
The lyrics are a reminder that life is unpredictable and that we should not take our loved ones for granted. It is easy to assume that our partners, family members, and friends know how much we love them, but sometimes it takes a tragedy to reveal the depth of our emotions. By expressing our love and appreciation for those we cherish, we can ensure that they will truly know how much they mean to us, even if tomorrow never comes.
Overall, "If Tomorrow Never Comes" is a beautiful and emotional song that encourages us to live in the moment and to cherish those we love. It is a reminder that life is precious and fleeting and that we should make the most of every opportunity to express our love and appreciation for others.
Line by Line Meaning
Sometimes late at night
Occasionally in the middle of the night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
I stay awake and observe her while she is sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
She is absorbed in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
Therefore, I switch off the lights and remain there in the darkness
And the thought crosses my mind
And the idea occurs to me
If I never wake up in the morning
If I do not wake up tomorrow
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
Would she ever question my emotions
About her in my heart
Regarding my feelings for her
If tomorrow never comes
If I were absent tomorrow
Will she know how much I loved her
Would she realize how much I adored her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
Did I attempt to demonstrate to her every day
That she's my only one
That she is the only one for me
And if my time on earth were through
And if my time on the earth came to an end
And she must face this world without me
And she had to face this world in my absence
Is the love I gave her in the past
Are the affections I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
Sufficient to persist
'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Since I have lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Who were unaware of how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
Now I lament with remorse
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
That I never exposed my genuine sentiments to them
So I made a promise to myself
Therefore, I promised myself
To say each day how much she means to me
To tell her every day how much she signifies to me
And avoid that circumstance
And evade that position
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel
Where there is no other opportunity to reveal my emotions to her
So tell that someone that you love
Therefore, inform that someone whom you adore
Just what you're thinking of
Precisely what is going through your mind
If tomorrow never comes
If you do not appear tomorrow
