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 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
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'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.
