If I knew it would be the last time,
that I'd see you fall a sleep,
I would tuck you in tighter
and pray the lord, your sould to keep...

If I knew it would be the last time,
that I would see you walk out that door,
I would give you a big hug & kiss
and call you back for just 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 and extra miniute 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 Im sure you'll have so many more
so I can let this one slip away...

for surely theres 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 theres another chance
to say our "ANYTHING I CAN DO's ?"

But just incase I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'de like to say how much I love you
and hope you 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 you didn't take the that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or even just a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone
what turned out to be their one last wish...

So always hold them dear
and close to your heart
let them know you love them
even if your miles apart...

Take time to say Im sorry,  please forgive me,
and thank you or its okay
and if tomorrow never comes
you'll have no regrets about today...
