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'd 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 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.

But just in case i might be wrong,
and today is all i get to say "I care",
I'd just let it out
and those 2 words with you i would want to share

Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone,
young and old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved ones 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, a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be thier one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry"
"thank you" or "it's okay"
And if tomorrow really doesn't come,
you'll have no regrets about today
