If Tomorrow Never Comes

If I knew it was 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 was the last time

that I'd see you out the door,

I would hug and kiss you,

and call you back for just one more.

If I knew it was the last time

I'd hear your voice in praise,

I would tape each word and action,

and play them back throughout my days.

If I knew it was the last time,

I would spare some time or two,

to stop and say "I love you,"

not assume you know I do.

So just in case tomorrow never comes,

and today is all I get,

I'd like to say how much I love you,

and I hope we never will 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 for today?

For if tomorrow never comes,

you surely will regret the day

that you didn't take that extra time

for a smile, a hug, or a kiss,

and you were just too busy to grant someone,

what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,

and whisper in their ear,

that you love them very much,

and 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.
