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 or two 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 right.
There will always be another day
to say our "I love you's,"
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 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.
Send this to all that you consider a friend.
Just to let them know how much you care about them.
You never know, you may not see them tomorrow.
So let them know how much they mean to you...
