If Tomorrow Never Comes

Recent famous deaths include veteran actor and philanthropist Paul Newman (I just saw "Cars" in which he voiced Doc Hudson) and veteran opposition and lawyer, Mr JB Jeyaretnam. Heath Ledger came to my mind too - he was only 28 when he left this world. The possibility of having no tomorrow can happen to anyone - for death does not discriminate.

I can't help but feel melancholic at this point, that life is really fragile and unpredictable. If I had a choice, would I want to know when my last day on earth would be? I guess I wouldn't want to. I'd rather live each day hoping for tomorrow than survive each day counting down to the day with no tomorrow. What about you? Do you want to know when tomorrow never comes?



Sometimes late at night
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 the 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 the 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
