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 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, and play it back day after
day.
If I knew it would be the last time... I would
spare
an extra minute or two to 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, and not say we'll have
so
many more, that I can let just this one slip
away.
But, surely there's always tomorrow to make up
for an
oversight. We always get a second chance to
make
everything right. There will always be another
day to
say our "I love you's". And certainly another
chance
to say "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 the time for
an
extra, smile, hug, or 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, 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.
