If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall
asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord
your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I see
you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back
for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your
voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word, so I could
play them back day after
day.
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare
an extra minute or two,
to stop and say that "I love you,"
Instead of assuming that you KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be
there to share your day,
well, I'm sure you'll have so many more, So I can
let this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for
an oversight,
and we always get a second chance to make everything
alright.
There will always be another day to say our "I
love you's,"
And certainly there's another chance to say our
"Anything I can do's."
But just in case I might be wrong, and today is
all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you and hope we
never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old
alike,
And today may be the last chance you get to hold
your loved one tight.
So, if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do
it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret
the day,
That you didn't take that extra time for a smile,
a hug, or kiss,
And you were too busy to grant someone, what turned
out to be their one last
wish.
So hold your loved ones close today, whisper in
their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
And that you'll always hold them dear.
Take the time to say "I'm sorry" "please forgive
me" "thank you" or
"It’s ok"
And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets
about today.
