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

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 share 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’s will always be another day

to say ‘I love you’ and certainly then

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 promise to anyone

young or old alike

and today may be the last chance

you get to hold your love 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 you hold your love ones 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 ”ts okay”

And if tomorrow never comes

You’ll have no regrets about today
