Tomorrow Never Came

He’d say “Son, come sit, let’s talk a while”

But I’d just shrug and fake a smile

“I’m busy now, I’ll come around”

Another excuse, another letdown

He’d call my phone just checking in

I’d let it ring, say “not again”

Thought there’d be time, thought he’d still wait

Didn’t see I was tempting fate

(Chorus)

Don’t wait for someday, don’t wait for time

Don’t think “later” will always be mine

Hold them close while they’re still here

Say the words they need to hear

We had our plans, “next weekend, sure”

I said those words like they were secure

Didn’t know time was slipping fast

Didn’t think those days were my last

That call came in, it dropped me cold

“Your dad’s gone…” that’s what I’m told

Now silence screams where he once stood

I’d trade it all if somehow I could

One daycan come with no goodbye,

Just memories and the question “why?”

Don’t let love be something you miss,

Take the time—don’t end like this.

Now I see him in everything

In old guitars he used to play and sing

His laugh echoes in empty space

And I’d give the world to see his face

(Bridge)

If I could go back, I’d change it all

Pick up the phone, return every call

Sit on that porch, just waste the day

Hear every story he’d wanna say

But time don’t bend, and life moves on

And you don’t know it’s gone ‘til it’s gone

(Chorus)

Don’t wait for someday, don’t wait for time

Don’t think “later” will always be mine

Hold them close while they’re still here

Say the words they need to hear

‘Cause one day comes with no goodbye

Just memories and the question “why?”

Don’t let love be something you miss

Take the time—don’t end like this

Don’t wait for someday, don’t wait for time

Don’t think “later” will always be mine

Hold them close while they’re still here

Say the words they need to hear

‘Cause one day comes with no goodbye

Just memories and the question “why?”

Don’t let love be something you miss

Take the time—don’t end like this
