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
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 videotape 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 "I love you," instead
of assuming you would 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 just 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 right.
There will always be another day to say our "I love yous",
and certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can dos?"
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 I 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 a 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 time to say
"I'm sorry," "please forgive me," "thank you" or
"it's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about
today.
