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 videotape each action and word, so I could
play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last itme 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 is another 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.
