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 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 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 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,
> >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.
