Este fin de semana recordamos el primer nº 1 de Garth Brooks, de 1989, una balada que muchos consideran su mejor canción. De extraordinaria sensibilidad y una fuerza que llega al corazón con una notas que prenden en el recuerdo rápidamente; cantada con intensa emoción, “If Tomorrow never comes” es una verdadera joya musical, denominada Favorite Country Single en la American Music Awards de 1991.
Arrancando con un solo suave de guitarra, la voz de Garth Brooks desgrana sentimientos en una letra que nos habla de un hombre junto a su amada, en una noche de amor, desvelo y reflexión, mientras el acompañamiento orquestal nos mete en la canción como una marea que nos envuelve por completo.
Os propongo estos dos vídeos para que disfrutéis de la canción:

Lyrics:
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

(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 she’s my only one
if my time on earth were through
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 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

*chorus*

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you’re thinking of
If tomorrow never comes
