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'd see you walk out of the door

I would give you a hug and a 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 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 just 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 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 can 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 the extra time

For a smile, a hug or a kiss

And you were to busy to grant someone

What turned out to be their last wish.

 

So hold your loved one 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 Ok'

And if tomorrow never comes

You'll have no regrets about today.

If Tomorrow Never Comes
