If I Die Tomorrow

Tell me, angel boy...

If I die tomorrow,
will you remember the night we kissed?
Underneath the stars and moonlight?
Standing on a bridge?

If I die tomorrow,
will you recall the day we pledged
to follow each other forever?
Took the leap of faith over the edge?

If I die tomorrow,
will you still know every little detail
 in our legacy, love and more?
Will your memory never fail?

If I die tomorrow,
can you promise you will miss
 the love you and I had in my head?
A love that will never exist?

And what about you, tell me, farmer girl...

If I die tomorrow,
will you still dance the sprinkle?
With the same shine in your eyes 
that the stars have when they twinkle?

If I die tomorrow,
will you still rap in native tongue?
Or joke about reading textbooks,
in your spare time, just for fun?

If I die tomorrow,
will you promise not to change?
Can you make sure that when we meet in heaven,
you'll still be the same?

And to the wannabe photographer, sailor, flower girl, vampire chick, pretty woman, Greek princess, daisy queen, arch nemesis, writer boy, future actor, cheeky partner, class of torture and one-thousand more,
tell me...

If I die tomorrow,
promise me you'll all be strong enough,
to be the people who never stopped dreaming,
even after they woke up.
