IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES...

 

There are no guarantees in Life. 

And, yes, I know this: there is no guarantee, that I will wake up tomorrow morning!

 

“Come on! Don’t say such things!” I hear my well-wishers discouraging even from thinking such thoughts.

So, I should not say, “What if tomorrow doesn’t come?”… 

“What if I do not wake up tomorrow morning?”

Yes, I am advised to be positive and optimistic in life… 

Think, that tomorrow WILL come…

Think, that I WILL wake up tomorrow morning!

Sorry friends, there are times, you can’t stop me from thinking and saying so: “What if tomorrow never comes!”

Today is one such day…

I married  Anima, my wonderful wife, twenty-one years ago. Yes, on this day!

I have been strongly feeling, suddenly: “Have I told her how much I loved her!”

“What if tomorrow never comes…” 

“Yes, what if?”

“What if?”

I just felt I must say that today to her, more than ever before… yes, before tomorrow comes… 

Because, I never know… if I ever get that chance to say her that, again!

I really never know!

 

So, with all my honesty and love, here I dedicate this beautiful song to the one who I have loved so much… but, certainly, failed to tell that enough.

                                                                

                                                            

If 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
