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 videotape 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 that "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 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'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 we get, I'd like to

say

how much I love you and 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 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, whisper in their ear, tell them

how much

you love them, and that you"ll always hold them dear. Take the time to

say

"I'm sorry" "please forgive me" "thank you" or "it's ok."



And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.
