This is eventually going to become part of an actual Ranma 1/2 musical
(that's right, a musical,) I am putting together. The Original Song is by
Garth Brooks
(Ranma is lying awake in bed. He gets up and goes into the Hall. He opens
the door to Akane's Room a little.)
RANMA
Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
(Ranma sees Akane, sleeping soundly. He closes the door and sits, leaning
against the Wall.)
RANMA
She's caught in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights
And lay there in the dark
(Ranma flashes back to Jyusendo, where Akane had almost died, and he nearly
says "I love you" to her...)
RANMA
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt
The way I feel about her in My Heart
(Ranma stands and walks outside. P-Chan sees him and follows)
RANMA
If Tomorrow Never Comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way
To Show her everyday
That She's my only one
(Ranma thinks back to all of his close battles: Herb, Ryu, Tarou, Cologne,
etc....)
RANMA
If My time on earth were through
If She must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes.
(Ranma thinks of his mother, so close, yet so far...)
RANMA
'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
(P-Chan finds a thermous and spare clothes stashed in the kitchen. He then
watches Ranma from the door. Ranma sits on the porch.)
RANMA
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them
Never were revealed
(Ranma straightens up, fist clenched, as if making a solemn vow. Ryouga
watches interestedly.)
RANMA
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
To avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance
To tell her how I feel
(Ryouga's gaze softens as Ranma's voice rises for the chorus:)
RANMA
If Tomorrow Never Comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way
To Show her everyday
That She's my only one
(Ranma stands. Ryouga is lost in thought, as if making a hard decision)
RANMA
If My time on earth were through
If She must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes.
(Ryouga steps out of the doorway and places a hand on Ranma's shoulder)
RYOUGA
So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinkin' of
(Ranma turns to face a smiling Ryouga. Their voices blend for the final
line of the song:)

Notes:
As said at the beginning, eventually this is going to become a musical, using
the following songs (All by Garth Brooks):
-If Tomorrow Never Comes
-Red Strokes
-The Dance
-Victim of the Game
I got the Idea while listening to my sister's box set of G.B. and heard the
song "Wild Horses" My LuNaTiC mind did the rest...
[Steps behind Flame-Proof Barrier]
All C&C is welcome....
