    I found this song on my sister´s phone a few days after she passed away from cancer. This is such a beautifully written song, as hard as it is hear, it has changed my mood endless times. We´ll meet again sister, until then music connects us.

    My wife was a big City/ Dallas fan and even though she never heard this song because she passed December 19, 2011 I know she would have absolutely loved it and would have wanted me to listen hard to the lyrics.

    Love you lots grandad. We all miss you so much. My heart hurt so much hearing this song today. It doesn't feel real... I miss your hugs, your laugh and sense of humour. I wish I spent more time with you...I remember playing around your shed with my cousin's and admiring all the hard work you did on your bikes and radios.
    Rest in peace. Hope wherever you are it has motorbikes and GTA... Love you grandad Steve xx💗

    I just lost my Grandmother to her battle with ALS. I thought this was a beautiful song before she passed and added it to the memorial dvd I made at her service. This song hit everyone so hard and today was the first time I’ve been able to hear it without absolutely losing it❤️

    Gah I cannot wait for this album!! Everything down to the sound mix gives me this cathartic feeling of lonesome acceptance. Hurry and the Harm had such an amazing cohesive vibe but I'm optimistic that he'll top it.
    Still, Bring Me Your Love will live on top forever.

    Dallas Green, when you're given a gift like the one you have, you must share it with the world. I'm just in awe of how amazing and touching your music is. I'm going to see you in Detroit and I'm so excited. If you'd play "missing" I would be ever so grateful! City and Colour will always be my favourite band.

    Me and my son's dad LOVED this album when it came out and the "If I should go before you" tour was our second concert together. He passed away in 2020 and not long after he passed, this song came on shuffle and I cried my eyes out. I knew it was him.

    This song was one my wife listened to often during our engagement. She doesn't love me anymore and I'm losing hope, I don't know why this came back to me, I don't know the band and the lyrics escaped me all these years. This song rips my soul out.

    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.

    If I should go before you
    When that long night comes
    We'll meet in the edge the 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 away
    Dyin' 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 away
    Dyin' in the light of day
    Our endless love will remain
    Until we meet
    Cryin' ourselves away
    Dyin' in the light of day
    Our endless love will remain
    Until we meet again
