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 a
kiss,
And call
you back
for one
more. 
If
I knew
it would
be the
last
time,
I'd hear
your
voice
lift 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 you
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.
