>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 l 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. >
