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.
*-*
ooo0ooo *-*
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.
*-*
ooo0ooo *-*
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.
*-*
ooo0ooo *-*
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 KNOW I do.
*-*
ooo0ooo *-*
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
I'd be sure it was your best,
before it slipped away.
*-*
ooo0ooo *-*
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything right.
*-*
ooo0ooo *-*
There will always be another day
to say "I love you"
And certainly there's another chance to ask
"Anything I can do?"
*-*
ooo0ooo *-*
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
*-*
ooo0ooo *-*
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.
*-*
ooo0ooo *-*
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.
*-*
ooo0ooo *-*
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.
*-*
ooo0ooo *-*
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.
*-*
ooo0ooo *-*
