If I
Knew
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 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 "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.
