If Tomorrow Never Comes

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
