if i knew

if i knew..

if i knew it would be the last time 

that i'd see u fall asleep,

i would tuck you in more tightly,

and pray God your soul to keep.

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 pray 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 u"

instead of assuming u would know that 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 u for an oversight,

and we always get the second chance,

to make everything just right.

there will always be anther day

to say 'i love u' 

and certainly there's another chance to say 

"anything i can do?"

but just in case i might be wrong ,

and today is all i got,

i'd like to say how much i love u

and i hope we never forget.

tomorrow is a promise to anyone

young or old alike,

and today may be the last chance

you get to hold your loved one tight

so, if you are waiting for tomorrow,

why not do it today?

for if tomorrow never comes,

you surely regret the day.

that you didn't take the extra time

for a smile, a smile. or a sake

and you were to busy to grant someone 

what turned out to be their last one wish.

and now i really..really regret it. for not grabbing the chance that was given to me.

for not saying the word that i should, for not doing the thing that i could.

just to show the one i love that i really do care.
