If I
Ryan Hiraoka Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

*verse 1*
If i lay down and tomorrow never comes
Will i live forever in the people that i love?
Will i be always in their hearts and minds?
Will i be the one that they think of all the time?
If i'm no longer there to make them smile
Will they be smiling if they don't know how
If i have to leave this world to reach heaven
Will you answer me this one question
**
If i close my eyes and take my last breath
Will you tell them that i love them
Will you hold them tightly in your arms
So that everything will be alright
If i should leave, if i should die
If i should rise in your house tonight
Will you wipe away the tears for me
If i
*verse 2*
If i live everyday like it's the last day
And this was the last day of my life
Will i know that my friends and my family
Understand that it's all alright
If i should leave, if i should die
I'll always be right by your side
If i was there with you in heaven
I would ask you this one question
**
And i'm praying...
If it's time for me to go away
Please dry the tears from your face
I don't wanna see no tears falling
You should know i'm in a special place
In your heart i'll always stay
I just had to answer god's calling
Now we chillin up in heaven reminiscing about my life
Thinking about the times when i was feeling down
He was by my side
Knowing that the reason that i was alive
Is so i could sing his praise
So this song i dedicate




In his name
