Intro: 4/4 
                      Am
1. Some-times late at night
 D                            C     G     C   G
   I lie a-wake and watch her sleep-ing |   -    |
         D                 Am
   She's lost in peace-ful dreams
             D                 C                  G      C
   So I turn out the light and lay there in the | dark -    |
 G                            Am 
   And the thought crosses my mind
 D                        C    G     C    G
   If I never wake in the morn-ing |    -    |
   D               Am
   Would she ev-er doubt 
       D            C                G         C
   The way I feel a-bout her in my | heart -      |

      G                    C
Chorus: If tomorrow nev-er comes
                                 G
        Will she know how much I love her
                           D       Am             D
        Did I try in ev‘ry way, to show her ev‘ry day
        C              G
        She's my on-ly one
      G                              C
        And if my time on earth were through
                                      Em
        She must face this world with-out me
                                      Am
        Is the love I gave her in the past 
                             D
        Gon-na be en-ough to last
                               G       D   C  
        If to-mor-row nev-er | co-omes       |

  G                                  Am
2. 'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
  D                            C     G      C    G   
    Who nev-er knew how much I loved them |    -    |  
          D                Am        
    Now I live with the re-gret 
                 D                  C              G   C  
    That my true feel-ings for them nev-er were re-vea-led 
  G                            Am
    So I made a pro-mise to my-self
  D                              C        G    C     G   
    To say each day how much she means to me |    -    | 
          D                 Am                      D            
    And a-void that cir-cum-stance where there's no se-cond chance
       C              G     C
    To tell her how I fee - eel

      G                    C
Chorus: If tomorrow nev-er comes
                                 G
        Will she know how much I love her
                           D       Am             D
        Did I try in ev‘ry way, to show her ev‘ry day
        C              G
        She's my on-ly one 
      G                              C
        And if my time on earth were through
                                      Em
        She must face this world with-out me
                                      Am
        Is the love I gave her in the past 
                             D
        Gon-na be en-ough to last
                               G      D  C   
        If to-mor-row nev-er | comes        | 
        
      G                               Am
        So tell that someone that you love
                                  D
        Just what you're thinking of
                               G      D  C     G    
        If to-mor-row nev-er | comes        |      |
