7. IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES Life is uncertain nowadaysAnd truly, I do not know how many days I have leftIt may be today or it may be tomorrowThat I can be called to leave this place.And so my dear, we have no time to wasteCome and hold me deep in your armsLet me feel aliveAnd love me like tomorrow will never come.We have no time for quarrelsThere is no need to be apart; We are of one anotherWe are the beats of each other hearts.Love me, is all I ask of youTomorrow is not certainBut this moment is ours to keepLets not leave any words unsaid.Love me, love me, and love me! We can capture this day, is ours to keep.My number may come at any momentBut this moment will always live.Hold me; bring me into your bosomsLet me know that you are mineAnd in case that I do not return; Know that yours is my heart.
