If Tomorrow Never Comes
Author Unknown

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 all right.

There will always be another day, to say our "I love you",
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 promise4 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 for give me," "thank you," or "its okay."
And if tomorrow never comes, you’ll have no regrets about today.
