IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES
If
I knew it would be the last time
I 'd 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 would spare a minute or two
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be interested in YOUR day,
Well, I'm sure you'll have so many more,
I can let 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 you mean to me
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 try to set things right.
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
Perhaps you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
Take time to say "I'm sorry," "please forgive me,"
"thank you" or "it's okay".
And if tomorrow never comes,
You'll be thankful you had today.
