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.
