"If Tomorrow Never Comes"

I was sitting in front of the computer and thinking what to post in my blog. I remember that last week i feel i miss my country the Philippines, i miss my mother,and my sons. I feel i don't have someone to talk to when i am alone in the house and my husband is at work. If i call my family in the Philippines everyday it will cost us big amount of money. I manage to call them last July and August and when the bill come it cost us about a hundred dollars. I was shocked... HHHmmmnn so expensive. If i talk to them in the computer i am not satisfied and my mother too doesn't know how to use the computer. The headseat in my computer back home is not doing good too. The only means that i could talk to them is on the phone. Here in the US i could call anywhere in the state because we have an unlimited call and we could talk even an hour or more. Last Saturday, i remember to contact my cousin who is living in Florida and we have not meet yet for so many years when he leave the Philippines and until last week. I get my cellphone look at the phone book and try calling him if it would get thru. Alas! i heard a ring and i was happy only to hear a voice message; a leave a message after the tone. I was sad but i still leave my message in Tagalog saying that this is just a test i am not sure if this is really your landline number, if you are the right person that i am calling please call me back at my number and i give him the number. After one hour he called up and when i hear his voice, My God i really cried. I can't express the happiness that i feel in that moment. After an hour of talking, exchanging hello's, knowing what happens with each others life we bade goodbye on the phone and that moment i told him take care, seems that day would be my last. I feel good and happy to hear his voice and knowing that he is there to care for me second to my husband and my other relatives, and friends who is living here is the US. I feel i am secure even if my parents and sons are not here and that i have someone to cling to whenever i need support. That time i could say i feel blessed to have a loving and supportive husband, parents sons and cousins, relatives and friends. And i know if i would leave at that moment i would be happy, feeling complete knowing that they are there loving me. And that i in turn was glad to let them know and love them. Or if ever tomorrow never comes as we don't know how long we will live at least i think i was able to let them feel how much i care for them. How much they meant to me. That's when i remember this old song sang by Ronan Keating and was inspired by a writer who is already dead. This inspiration gives me the urge to post this video and lyrics so that you could sing and enjoy and possibly think that's it not yet late to let our love one's feel they are meant so much to us.



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
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
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
