• 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 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.
