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'd see you walk out of
the door,
I would hug you and kiss you and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time I heard your name lifted up in
praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
So I could play it back for days.
If I knew it would be the last time to spare an extra minute or
two,
I'd stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming that you 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'll let this one slip
away.
For surely there is tomorrow to make up for an oversight,
And we'll always get a second chance to make everything all
right.
There will be another chance 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 hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,
And today might be your last chance to hold your loved one
tight.
So if your waiting for tomorrow, why not do it all today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
You will surely regret the day,
That you didn't take the extra time for a smile, hug, or
kiss.
And your surely too busy to grant someone,
What turned out to be their last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today and whisper in their ear.
Tell them how much you love them and that you'll all ways hold them
dear.
Take the time to say "I'm sorry, please forgive me, Thank you or
It's OK,"
And if tomorrow never comes,
You'll have no regrets about today.
Apologize and start new,
And tell the one who loves you, that you love them too!
