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 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 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 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!
