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,
and whisper in their ear,
that you'll always  hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive  me,"
"thank you," or "its okay".
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll  have no regrets about  today.
