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 that 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 videotape each action and word, so I could play it 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 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 ones 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 your 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, 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," " Thanks you, or "It's ok"
And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.
