Sometimes late at night
D C/G G Am/G G
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
D Am7
She's lost in peaceful dreams
D C G C/G G
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
G Am7
And the thought crosses my mind
D C/G G Am/G G
If I never wake up in the morning
D Am7 D
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
C G C/G G
About her in my heart
G C
If tomorrow never comes

Will she know how much I loved her

Did I try in every way to show her every day
C G
That she's my only one
Am G C
And if my time on earth were through
D Em
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 love 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
Am
And avoid that circumstance
D G D C G
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel

So tell that someone that you love

Just what you`re thinking of

If tomorrow never comes
