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 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 love 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
Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind Tethered to another and you’re worried all the time You always knew the melody but you never heard it rhyme
She’s fair and she is quiet, Lord, she doesn’t look like me She made me love the morning, she’s a holiday at sea The New York streets are as busy as they always used to be But I am the mother of Evangeline
The first things that she took from me were selfishness and sleep She broke a thousand heirlooms I was never meant to keep She filled my life with color, cancelled plans and trashed my car But none of that is ever who we are
Outside of my windows are the mountains and the snow I hold you while you’re sleeping and I wish that I could go All my rowdy friends around accomplishing their dreams But I am the mother of Evangeline
They’ve still got their morning paper and their coffee and their time They still enjoy their evenings with the skeptics and their wine Oh but all the wonders I have seen I will see a second time From inside of the ages through your eyes
You were not an accident where no one thought it through The world has stood against us, made us mean to fight for you And when we chose your name we knew that you’d fight the power, too
You’re nothing short of magical and beautiful to me I would never hit the big time without you So they can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine Cause I am the mother of Evangeline
They can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine Cause I am the mother of Evangeline Ooooh…
So sad to hear of the passing of our dearest Paddy Moloney. He was ours wasn’t he He made us all so proud of our heritage and brought such joyous energy. I’m honoured to have known and worked with not just a legend but a thoroughly lovely man. @paddymoloney#rippaddymoloney
