Sir Tom Jones…I will wake in the morning if you call

Tom Jones’ tribute to deceased wife leaves ‘The Voice’ fans teary-eyed 

Blind Auditions | The Voice UK 2022

In an appearance at ‘The Voice of UK’, legendary British singer, Sir Tom Jones sang one of his top hits ‘I Won’t Crumble With You If You Fall’, leaving the audience and his judges teary-eyed. Through this song, Sir Jones paid tribute to his late wife Linda, who died due to cancer in 2016. 

Netizens poured their heart out to Tom Jones through their comments. They were all feeling very emotional and many confessed their tears flowed out listening to him sing. The judges Anne-Marie, Olly Murs, and Will.i.am looked every bit sad listening to Tom Jones sing and looked impressed with his performance. 

Tom Jones informed the crowd that he spends a lot of time picking songs that mean a lot to him. He selected the song he sang today for his wife, and the words that he sang made him miss her much. 

The singer said that you need to spend time with the one you love, to know what they want and provide the strength they seek to get on in this world.                                                               He went on to explain how his wife suffered from lung cancer and he assured her that he would try and fix things. She told Sir Tom that he should continue to do what he has to and not crumble with her and fall.

Sir Tom Jones felt that this song was written for that very moment and therefore decided to present it on the show and pay a tribute to her.

Lyrics

I will wake in the morning if you call
And I’ll stand beside you as long as I can
I will hold back the evening of your sun
But I won’t crumble with you if you fall

I will shadow the heat of your days
And I’ll drink from the sweat of your brow
I will walk to the tune of your song
But I won’t crumble with you if you fall

Come and walk with me and hold to my hand
Touch me, let me know I am here by myself
Stretch my night dreams into my days
Stop short of falling apart if I go down

I’ll wake in the morning if you call
And I’ll stand beside you as long as I can
I will hold back the evening of your sun
But I won’t crumble with you if you fall
