If Tomorrow Never Comes

If I knew it would be the last time 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 I'd see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and ask just for more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice sparkle, 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 a 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 ot share your day, I'm sure I wouldn't just let this one slip away.
We often think there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything right.
We believe there will always be another day to say 'I love you' and certainly another chance to ask, 'Anything I can do?'
But just in case we might wrong, and today is all we get, let's say how much 'I love you' how much 'I wont forget.'
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young and old alike. And today may be the last chance to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? If tomorrow never comes, you'' surely regret the day that you didn't take the extra time for a smile, a hug or a kiss. That you said you were too busy to give someone what turns out to be their last wish.
