Original Broadway Cast of On Your Feet
If I Never Got to Tell You
[GLORIA FAJARDO, spoken]
Shh. It's me. It's Mami. I'm here. 

(sung)
If I never got to tell you
There's no way I could be prouder
Of the life that you've created
All the ways that you have grown

If I never got to tell you

[EMILIO]
You are my life

[GLORIA FAJARDO]
I would say it ever louder

[EMILIO]
From the first day you were

[GLORIA FAJARDO & EMILIO]
In my life you've been a blessing

[GLORIA FAJARDO]
And I need you to know
[EMILIO]
Life can change so quickly

[GLORIA FAJARDO]
Don't think that you have
All the time in the world to tell someone
The reasons that you love them

[GLORIA FAJARDO & EMILIO]
With one twist of fate
All the words in your heart

[GLORIA FAJARDO]
They never hear
What's the sense in waiting?

[GLORIA FAJARDO & EMILIO]
Until it's too late to say it
Much like a game, we play it
When we choose to keep it all inside
Until it's too late, forever
We run out of all whenevers
And this just might be our last goodbye

[EMILIO]
If I never got to tell you
[GLORIA FAJARDO]
If I never got to tell you

[GLORIA FAJARDO & EMILIO]
All the ways you made me happy

[GLORIA FAJARDO]
That the dreams you've been fulfilling
Are fulfilling my dreams too

[EMILIO]
If I never got to tell you

[GLORIA FAJARDO]
I love you so

[EMILIO]
You were planned down to the moment

[GLORIA FAJARDO]
If I ever hurt you

[GLORIA FAJARDO & EMILIO]
You have always been the reason
For the choices I have made
[EMILIO]
I thought I would have all the time in the world
To make things right
But I almost lost tomorrow
With one twist of fate
I was facing the world
Without you

[GLORIA FAJARDO, spoken]
Did you see all the red roses people sent her?

[EMILIO, spoken]
Yeah. 

[GLORIA FAJARDO & EMILIO, spoken]
She hates red roses. 

[GLORIA FAJARDO, spoken]
You were taking her away from me. And I couldn't bear the thought of losing her. 

[EMILIO, spoken]
I know the feeling. 

[GLORIA FAJARDO]
If I never got to tell you
I regret the way things happened
In my life, each time I trusted
Was just one more time I lost
If I never got to tell you

[EMILIO]
I understand

[GLORIA FAJARDO]
You're the son I always wanted

[EMILIO]
I will always be here

[GLORIA FAJARDO]
And though I didn't make it easy

[EMILIO]
No, you didn't make it easy

[GLORIA FAJARDO]
I have paid the higher cost

I thought I would have all the time in the world
To make things right
But I almost lost tomorrow
With one twist of fate
I was facing the world
Without you
So I'm no longer waiting

[EMILIO]
I'm no longer waiting

[GLORIA FAJARDO & EMILIO]
Until it's too late to say it
Much like a game, we play it
When we choose to keep it all inside
Until it's too late, forever
We run out of all whenevers
And this just might be our last goodbye

Before it's too late

[REPORTER, spoken]
At this hour, pop superstar Gloria Estefan is about to enter an extremely complex spinal fusion surgery, which reportedly could last as long as nine hours. A press conference is scheduled for this evening, at which time we should find out whether or not the procedure was indeed successful.
