Paula Hiltrudis Fuga is a Hawaiian singer-songwriter who was born in Waimānalo, Hawaii and released her debut studio album Lilikoi in 2007 when she won a Hawaiin Award for "Most Promising Artist of the Year".

In 2008, Jack Johnson invited Fuga to perform at select dates of his Sleep Through the Static Tour.

In February 2021, Fuga announced on Instagram that she had been signed to Jack Johnson's record label Brushfire Records. On April 16, she released today’s song of the day, "If Ever" featuring Jack Johnson and Ben Harper, which serves as the lead single to her album Rain on Sunday.

Stay safe and well...and enjoy this truly sweet pop tune performed by a bunch of talented people.

If ever, if ever I could see you again, mm-hmm

If ever, if ever I could see you again, mm-hmm

Won't you take me back to where we used to play?

Hang on every word, hang on every moment

I know you're in between now and I know you can't stay

Give me one more rising sun, just one more setting moment

It felt so bright, I had to turn away

Turn back around and the moment had been stolen

You make magic out of nothing, you make my fears go away

But who will make the words, or find the answers for them?

If ever, if ever I could see you again, mm-hmm

If ever, if ever I could see you again, mm-hmm

Handmade mornings, and trails we walked on

Pain that shapes us like rain on rocks now

Changing faces are woven in my

Future I see, don't say it out loud

Shade from too much, I miss you most times

All the ideals of you fall through my mind

Thoughts I can't lose, I sometimes try to

Hold what I can if I can't hold you

If ever, if ever I could see you again, mm-hmm

If ever, if ever I could see you again, mm-hmm

If ever, if ever I could see you again, mm-hmm

If ever, if ever I could see you again, mm-hmm
