If Tomorrow Never Comes

In the excitement of the dog attack I almost forgot a sadly touching scene we saw on the way to Lake Mead. In a curve there was a wooden cross by the side of the road. That’s sad enough, but a woman was sitting beside it crying. I couldn’t help but wonder which loved one she lost. Was it her husband or child? Was it her mother or father? Was it her brother or sister, or best friend or favorite cousin? Let this be a reminder to hug your loved ones and enjoy them. Pick up the phone. Don’t be so busy that you forget why you work. We just never know how much time we have so spend it wisely. Tell your loved ones how much you love them. These are the words of my favorite Garth Brooks song, If Tomorrow Never Comes:

Sometimes late at night

I lie awake and watch her sleeping

Shes 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

(chorus)

If tomorrow never comes

Will she know how much I loved her

Did I try in every way to show her every day

That shes 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 Ive 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 theres no second chance to tell her how I feel

*chorus*

So tell that someone that you love

Just what youre thinking of

If tomorrow never comes

Make sure they know how much you love them if tomorrow never comes.
