If Tomorrow Never Comes - Garth Brooks

Verse 1
Sometimes late at night I lie awake
And watch her sleep, even though she's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel about her in my heart?  

Chorus
If tomorrow never comes, will she know how much I love her?
If tomorrow never comes, will she know that she's my only one?
And if I'd had today to tell her
I would have said the words I'm trying to say now
And if my time has come, she must face this world without me here
Will the love I gave her in the past be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes  

Verse 2
I've lost loved ones in my life
People I thought I'd always have
And I've learned from their goodbye
To cherish all the days we're given
So I tell her how I feel each night
And thank the Lord for her
But I know she understands
That words can't show her how much I care

Chorus
If tomorrow never comes, will she know how much I love her?
If tomorrow never comes, will she know that she's my only one?
And if I'd had today to tell her
I would have said the words I'm trying to say now
And if my time has come, she must face this world without me here
Will the love I gave her in the past be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

Key Differences
Feature    Worry    Regret

Tomorrow

Tomorrow, no one should be kinder or braver than he,
Tomorrow, a friend who was troubled and weary he'd see,
Who'd be glad of a lift and who needed it, too;
On him he would call and he'd know what to do.

Tomorrow, each morning he'd stack up the letters he'd write,
Tomorrow, the folks he would fill with delight,
Tomorrow, it was too bad, indeed, he was busy today,
And hadn't a minute to stop on his way;  

Tomorrow, the greatest of workers this man would have been,
Tomorrow, the world would have known him, had he ever seen.
Tomorrow, but the fact is he died and faded from view,
And left here when living was through.

A journey’s start, where pathways interblend.
