                                    If tomorrow never comes



                                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,
                                       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.
