Astrocloud is right, Yussuf Islam, aka Cat Stevens, is still alive, however, if he WAS dead how about, "But I might die tonight"

definetly my first thought...

Pennywise - Bro Hymn Tribute

A california punk band. Singer writes this song about a friend dying. Shortly after that the singer himself dies and so his brother takes over as singer. He remakes the song for his brother.

Gary Jules is not dead. Besides, the original Tears for Fears version is better.
