"If The Lights Go Out" is a song by The Hollies that encourages listeners not to worry about the future and live in the present. The lyrics suggest that even if the world were to end soon, the songwriter would choose to be with their loved one until the very end. The first verse acknowledges the idea that the end of the world might be near, but the songwriter disagrees and urges people to focus on living in the present moment. The refrain "Don't think about tomorrow" reinforces this message. In the chorus, the songwriter promises to stand by their loved one even if the worst were to happen: "And if the lights go out, on all of us, in just a year or two / And if the sky falls down like pouring rain, then I'll be here with you / I'll go down with you." The second verse asks the loved one not to give up on the relationship and to not let their emotions get the best of them. The refrain "Don't think about tomorrow" is repeated again. Overall, "If The Lights Go Out" is a love song that conveys a message of living in the present and enjoying the moments we have with the people we care about, even in the face of uncertainty about the future.
