City And Colour - If I Should Go Before You Lyrics






If I should go
before you
When that long night comes
We'll meet in the ever after
Please don't follow me
into the sun

If you should cross
the white light
and find yourself
in the black
I'll be right there
behind you
You will have no need
to look back

And when the night
cries itself awake
Dying in the light of day
Our endless love
will remain
Until we meet again...

If I should go
before you
Into the great
unknown
I'll leave my ghost right
beside you
You won't have to wait
alone

And when the night
cries itself awake
Dying in the light of day
Our endless love
will remain
Until we meet...
Crying ourselves awake
Dying in the light of day
Our endless love
will remain
Until we meet again.

    So sorry for your lost sweetie 💔.. Yes you are right, this Song is Absolutely Beautiful...#City&Colour#

    V.... K....

    sorry for the lost

  19. A.... J....

    All Alexisonfire and City and Colour songs remind me of my ex-lover.. The only girl I've ever loved.. She was from Hamilton Ontario.. I met her on my favorite online video game. We were perfect for the next 4 years.. I went to Hamilton.. I saw the church at Victoria and King as me and her waited for the bus. All the music, all the street I walk here in Niagara Falls, everything, reminds me of her. She was always a bigger City and Colour fan. She was scared of screaming so she didn't like Alexisonfire.. She is my angel.. Sadly when Trump became president she lost the dream of marrying me and living in America.. Life is so cruel, but so wonderful.. Be at one with all of your life.. Be thankful for every memory.. Until we meet again, Andrea <3 <3 <3

    Does the beginning of this video remind anyone else of Twin Peaks?

  75. s.... ....

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  76. U.... ....

    Im a metal fan. Some people think its impossible for me to like this. ...Why?! This is amazing. <3

    U.... ....

    UnityDeicide lol , I don't think it's that deep .. Its just music

    U.... ....

    plus hes from a heavy metal band ... alexisonfire

    U.... ....

    Jovany Mendez sucks you don’t get what everyone else seems to get out of this “just music”. I feel bad for you, you’re missing out.

    U.... ....

    @Indefatigable_Iguana oh no trust Me , I get it

    U.... ....

    Indefatigable_Iguana no he’s right. It’s just music. You can get a lot of it, but it’s retarded to think you can’t get something out of it for liking a different genre.

  77. S.... ....

    I love it

  78. l.... d....

    pure greatness

  79. E.... ....

    Really excellent...  Bring on the album...

  80. S.... B....

    I didn't think it was possible for Dallas to get any better.

  81. d.... b....

    If you should cross the white light and find yourself in the black, I'll be right there behind you... You will have no need to look back...

  82. T.... ....

    I have this weird feeling that song is really old. At least it sounds like music of 50s. But I'm saying it all as a compliment to Dallas. It's music for old-souled people.

  83. R.... D....

    wheres your Canada dates ?

  84. h.... ....

    Just waiting on Dallas to rejoin Alexisonfire

  97. S.... B....

    If I should go before you
    When that long night comes
    We'll meet in the ever after
    Please don't follow me into the sun

    If you should cross the white light,
    and find yourself in the black
    I'll be right there behind you
    You'll have no need to look back

    And when the night cries itself awake
    Dying in the light of day
    Our endless love will remain
    Until we meet again

    If I should go before you
    Into the great unknown
    I'll leave my ghost right beside you
    You won't have to wait alone

    And when the night cries itself awake
    Dying in the light of day
    Our endless love will remain
    Until we meet...

    Crying ourselves awake
    Dying in the light of day
    Our endless love will remain
    Until we meet again.

  98. N.... ....
