Analysis of If Tomorrow I Should Die
If tomorrow I should die
What kind of tears would be shed
Would they be droplets of joy,
Or of sorrow that I’m dead
Life is too short for grudges,
And the anger that is fed
Through the hellfire and brimstone,
For the lowly man would tread
Choices that dwell in darkness,
Can’t we share our love instead
Thoughts of long lost love maintained,
Laying lonely in this bed
If tomorrow I should die,
Remember the things I said
