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
just 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, 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
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,
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,
Too busy to grant someone what turned out to be their
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.
