If Tomorrow Never Comes
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 a 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.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young and old alike,
and today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved ones tight.
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.
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.
