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 would
spare an extra minute or two
to stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming
that you 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
see to 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 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.
