If
I knew
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
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 just
right.
There will always be another
day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another
chance
to say our "Anything I
can do?"
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,
and 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.
