美國鄉村歌手兼詞曲作家Garth Brooks於1985開始其職業歌唱生涯，1989發行其首張同名專輯《Garth Brooks》，分別拿下流行與鄉村專輯榜的第12及第2名，此首《If Tomorrow Never Comes》即為該專輯中另發行的單曲，由Garth Brooks自己與人所合寫，此曲衝上了告示牌熱門鄉村單曲榜的第1名，也是Brooks個人的首支鄉村冠軍曲。

包含前述專輯，Garth Brooks共有9張「鑽石唱片」( 依據美國唱片工業協會RIAA的認證標準，銷售超過50萬張為「金唱片」、100萬張以上為「白金唱片」，「鑽石唱片」則是銷售超過1千萬張。) 此成績超越了披頭合唱團的6張「鑽石」。截至2020，依據RIAA的統計，Garth Brooks是世界專輯銷售最佳的音樂藝人之一，其總銷量在美國本土即有1.56億張，超越了貓王Elvis Presley，但仍排在「披頭四」之後。

愛爾蘭歌手Ronan Keating ( 原Boyzoon合唱團體的成員 ) 之前以一首《When You Say Nothing at All》走紅，2002翻唱此曲，其版本奪得英國、澳洲、捷克、丹麥及挪威等國家排行榜的冠軍，前5名的也多達10個國家，毫無疑問是「大豐收」了。

此首情歌是頗為動聽，但看歌詞內容卻非如此感人，主要是闡述「天有不測風雲，愛要趁早表達」。但想想，都已經睡在同一張床上了，還要懷疑對方是否有感受到自己真誠的愛，看來是這位老兄半夜睡不著，想太多了。呵呵呵！

這位荷蘭女歌手也唱得不錯。

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
