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 that 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 that 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 that I would be there to share your day – Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more so I can let this one just 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 always be another day to say that, ‘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 the 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.
