If I Should Die Tonight Lyrics

Oh, If I should die tonight
Oh baby, though it'd be far before my time
I won't die blue, sugar yeah
'Cause I've known you

Oooh, oh, how many eyes
Have seen their dream
Oh, how many arms
Have held their dream
How many hearts, baby...
Have felt their world stand still

Millions never, they never never
And millions never will baby
They never will

If I should die tonight love
Darlin', it'd be far before my time
I won't die blue
'Cause I've known you

Oooh, I'm so grateful baby
Grateful that you're lovin' me
My one desire
Is to love you 'til
I'm no longer here and never tire
God has been so good to me
I'm so thankful

Oooh, how many eyes
Have seen their dream
How many arms
Have held their dream
How many hearts, oh darlin'
Have felt their world stand still
Oh Lord

Oooh, Millions never, no, never never
And millions never will, sugar
They never will

If I should die tonight, ahhh baby
I just want you to keep this one thought in your mind
That I would never die blue...
'Cause I've known you.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
