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 big 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 spend a 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 many more,
so I can just let this
one slip away.
For sure there is 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 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
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 are 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 love 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.
