If I were to see you tomorrow
Would it be through hazy mists?
In which I could see your silhouette?
Or would it be in the corner cafe
Where we sit and talk over coffee?

If I were to see you tomorrow
Would I ask the colour of Heaven's gates?
And the pitch of the doorbell?
Or would I ask if you were lonely
So far away from home?

If I were to see you tomorrow
Would I hear a heavenly choir?
Singing hymns in perfect harmony.
Or would you play your guitar
And sing to me of broken hearts?

If I were to see you tomorrow
Would I tell you of world politics?
Cd roms, cancer research and whales?
Or would I tell you of my first kiss,
My first love and my first car?

If I were to see you tomorrow
Would you ask me my net worth?
Who I am going to vote or?
Or would you ask of my heart
And those I keep close to it?

If I were to see you tomorrow
Would you tell me to invest wisely?
Drive safely and use dental floss?
Or would you tell me to live,
Love and smile?

If I were to see you tomorrow
Would you help me with my tax return?
And paying the rent?
Or would you build sandcastles with me
And watch the sun set?

If I were to see you tomorrow
Would you see a girl with tear stained cheeks?
Trying to hold her head up high?
Or would you see your little princess
Filled with hopes and dreams?

If I were to see you tomorrow
Would I take a photograph?
To keep the memory forever in a frame?
Or would I give you a hug
And keep the memory forever in my heart?

If I were to see you tomorrow
Would you leave me?
Silently while I slept?
Or would you hold me in your arms
And make it all okay?

If I were to see you tomorrow
Could I let you go once more?

Yeah. I wrote it when I was about 21, I think? My dad died when I was 14 and I always used to wonder, and still do I guess, what it would be like to see him again after all these years. What would really be important.
