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.
