歌詞及翻譯


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

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
