> " 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

> that I see you walk out the door,

> I would give you a hug and kiss

> 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 " ,

> And certainly there's another chance

> to say our " Anything I can dos? "

>

> 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.
