If Tomorrow Never Comes

(Instrumental) If the sun don’t rise on me… Promise my echoes still hum, still run free She said write it like a letter, not a will, just a note If tomorrow never comes, let the truth still float Ink dripping from her soul, every line heartfelt Heavy thoughts feather-light, how she learned to belt She said sorry to the hearts that she bruised on the way out Some people in a rush just to kneel and pray Tryna meet God early, skipping steps in the race She learned patience from pain, learned grace from mistakes Got love for her circle, yeah they held her down From the porch talks late to the lost-and-found And her dogs knew her secrets, tails wagging like fans Unconditional love, no questions, no plans If tomorrow never comes Let my words keep breathing on In every song you hum I’m still here, I’m still strong…. Singing along I’m sorry for the tears I made fall Never meant to crack your walls If heaven calls me before the dawn Let my music carry on Let my music carry on… She turned pain into playlists, grief into gold Every scar got a story, every verse got a soul Heart big as the city, but she move real calm Like Georgia heat wrapped up in a slow-jam psalm She said love ain’t perfect, it’s messy, it’s true Like leashes get tangled but dogs still stay loyal to you Had friends turn to family, family turn strange Still grateful for the lessons, wouldn’t rewrite the page She laughed through the rain, made umbrellas from jokes Turned heavy conversations into light-hearted quotes Said if I ever go quiet, don’t panic, don’t run Just press play real loud—yeah, I already won She said I ain’t perfect, I just learned how to try Still talk to the stars when it’s hard to reply Left my fears in the margins, let the beat hold ‘em tight Turned sleepless nights into songs full of light She loved deep conversations, hated small talk Found God in long walks and dogs on a short block If I ever snapped, I hope you knew it was pain Sometimes love leaks out sideways, disguised as rain She said forgive me for the times I went cold Was scared of losing you, so I loosened my hold If my voice ever trembled, that was truth in disguise I was learning how to live while preparing to fly If tomorrow never comes Let my words keep breathing on In every song you hum I’m still here, I’m still strong…. Still singing along Tell my friends I loved them all Even when I built my walls If heaven calls me before the dawn Let my music carry on I left pieces of me in every laugh Every car ride, every photograph If my heart ever sounded heavy I hope these melodies make it steady Life’s a leash, we all get pulled sometimes But love still waits when you cross that line She said I thank my friends for the laughs and the fights For the rides when I was wrong and the silence at night For believing in me when I didn’t believe For seeing the gold underneath all the grief I thank love for the lessons, even when it hurt For teaching me value don’t come from the dirt I walked with my heart out, yeah I risked every fall But I’d rather feel everything than feel nothing at all And if tomorrow don’t show up like we planned Know I lived with my soul in the palm of my hand I left breadcrumbs of hope in the songs that I sung So you’d never feel alone when the night feels long If tomorrow never comes Don’t say goodbye, just sing along I’m alive in every song In your speakers, I belong Kiss the dawgs for me at dawn Tell my people to be strong If tomorrow never comes… Let my music carry on And just sing along If this is my goodbye, it ain’t heavy, it’s kind I left pieces of heaven in the cracks of each line I’m not gone, I’m just playing on a different side Same love, new rhythm, just a longer delay in time Tell my people I’m proud, yeah, every last one Tell ‘em life’s not a race, it’s already won Hold each other closer, let the small things slide Love hard, forgive fast, let your heart stay wide And when you miss me, don’t look up—look within I’m the song that finds you when you’re breaking again If tomorrow never comes, don’t cry, just hum Every note is proof that I’m not really gone I’m still here… In the music… I’m still here… Yeah… Legends don’t leave, they loop forever
