By : N orma C ornett Marek
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 'd see you walk out the door I would give you a hug and a kiss, And call you back for just one more. If I knew it would be the last time I 'd hear your voice lifted up in praise 1 would tape each word and action And play them back throughout my days If I knew it would be the last time I would spare an extra minute or two
To stop and say, "I Love You" Instead o f assuming 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 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 you loved ones close today and whisper in their ear
Tell them you love them very much and You'll always hold them dear Take time to say "I 'm Sorry"
"Please forgive m e", "Thank you" or "It's O K " And if tomorrow never comes
You'll have no regrets about today.
