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 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.

                        There will always be another day to say our "I love you's," and certainly there's another
                        chance 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.
