Sometimes late at nightI lie awake and watch her sleepingShe's lost in peaceful dreamsSo I turn out the lights and lay there in the darkAnd the thought crosses my mindIf I never wake up in the morningWould she ever doubt the way I feelAbout her in my heartIf tomorrow never comesWill she know how much I loved herDid I try in every wayTo show her every dayThat she's my only oneIf my time on earth were throughAnd she must face the world without meIs the love I gave her in the pastGonna be enough to lastIf tomorrow never comes'Cause I've lost loved ones in my lifeWho never knew how much I loved themNow I live with the regretThat my true feelings for them never were revealedSo I made a promise to myselfTo say each day how much she means to meAnd avoid that circ*mstanceWhere there's no second chanceTo tell her how I feelIf tomorrow never comesWill she know how much I loved herDid I try in every wayTo show her every dayThat she's my only oneIf my time on earth were throughAnd she must face the world without meIs the love I gave her in the pastGonna be enough to lastIf tomorrow never comesSo tell that someone that you loveJust what you're thinking ofIf tomorrow never comes
