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," 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 you're 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 or hug or kiss. And you're surely
not 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 always hold them dear
