If I Die Tomorrow Lyrics by Jack White
If I die tomorrow
Could you find it in your heart to sing?
If my mother cries in sorrow
Will you help her with the many things
That she needs from time to time and day to day?
So, if I die tomorrow
Will you know exactly what to say today?
She won’t mind the trouble
She’s been through it all before, I know she’ll say
Make it a double of her lemon drink
And before you know
She’ll be laughin’ ’bout the times and those old days
So, if I die tomorrow
Promise you can walk away okay, okay?
I hate to think about it
So, it helps to shout it
And if you could help me out
It would mean so much for my peace of mind
And her heart is careworn
And ever since I was a newborn
I pushed aside this worry for the sake of my life
If I die tomorrow
Will you let me know I left in peace?
I begged and I borrowed
Everybody’s love, and they gave for free
And I wish that I could give it back to them
So, if I die tomorrow
Will you give them all the love they lent to me?
