Key of C

If Tomorrow Never Comes is a song recorded by American country music artist Garth Brooks. Written by Brooks and Kent Evan Blazy, it was released in August 1989. This was his first number-one single on the US Billboard Country Singles chart. It is also sometimes referred to as his signature song.

The song subsequently became one of Brooks’ most popular songs for other artists to perform. In 2002 Irish singer Ronan Keating released a version that reached number one in the United Kingdom and three other countries, and it became a top-five hit in several additional territories.

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 oneIf 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
