| IF I KNEW |
| 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 |
| 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 just right. |
| There will always be another day |
| to say "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 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. |
