if tomorrow never comes

不管有多少鄉村音樂的純化論者否定這一現實，Garth Brooks都是鄉村音樂史一位十分重要的人物。極具有商業方面的頭腦的Garth Brooks在90年代為鄉村音樂贏得了一批新的聽眾，更確切的說是更多的聽眾。在Brooks之前人們很難想象一位鄉村音樂歌手的好幾張唱片能獲得鑽石唱片認證。

If Tomorrow Never Comes

By ：Garth Brooks

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

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 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

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

假如明天不再到來

翻譯：徐小平

有時候就在深更半夜

醒在床上我久久凝注熟睡的她

她在平靜的夢中渾然不知

於是我關上燈讓自己在黑暗中沉思

一個念頭悠然爬上了我的心頭

假如我明天不再醒來會發生什麼？

她會不會懷疑我一直珍藏在心底

那對她一往情深的真愛？

假如明天真的不再到來

她怎麼會知道我曾是多麼地愛她？

我是否曾在每天每日，一點一滴，

讓她知道她是我的唯一？

假如我的生命已經到頭

而她還必須孤獨地面對這個世界

我是否曾給過她足夠的愛

在我身後陪伴她地久天長

假如明天真的不再到來

生命中曾經失去過我的最愛

他們臨走也沒有聽過我真誠的表白

我現在生活在不盡的懺悔之中

因為我從來沒有向他們表達真情

於是我對自己發下一個誓願

每一天都告訴她她在我心中的分量

以免那種事情再次發生——

想說愛時已經此恨綿綿

所以記得告訴你所愛的人

就把心裡話說出來

假如明天真的不再到來
