If Tommorow Never Comes
Ronan Keating · Other Songs - Ronan Keating
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the light and lay there in the dark
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
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 this 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 once 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 this 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
If Tomorrow Never Comes
Ronan Keating's 'If Tomorrow Never Comes' stands as a poignant centerpiece of his early solo career, blending soulful vocals with a melodic pop-rock arrangement. Released during a period where Keating was establishing his signature sound, the track captures the universal anxiety of the future, a theme he explores with emotional depth across his discography. The song reflects the era's shift toward more introspective pop ballads, distinguishing Keating's voice from his earlier work with Boyzone. While often associated with the broader landscape of 2000s pop, the recording remains a testament to his ability to convey personal vulnerability through accessible melodies. It serves as a bridge between his boy band roots and his matured status as a solo artist, showcasing a lyrical focus on mortality and hope that resonates with listeners seeking genuine emotional connection in their music.
