If I knew....

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

to stop and say 'I love you,'

instead of assuming you would KNOW it.

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 just right.

There will l always be another day to say '

I love you,' And certainly there's another chance to say

our 'Anything I can do?'

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.
