If I knew it was the last time I’d see you fall asleep
I’d tuck you in more tightly and pray your soul to keep
If I knew it was the last time I’d see you out the door
I’d hug and kiss you one more time and call you back for more
If I knew it was the last time I’d get to share your day
I know that I’d make certain it didn’t slip away
We assume we will have a tomorrow to correct an oversight
That we will always have another chance to make everything alright
There will always be another day to say that I love you
There will always be another chance to ask “what can I do?”
But just in case I might be wrong, if this day is all I get
I want to say that I love you so that you will not forget
Tomorrow is not promised that we’ll see another night
Today could be my last chance to love and to hold you tight
Instead of waiting for tomorrow show your love somehow
For if tomorrow never comes, you’d wish you’d done it now
That you didn’t take the extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
Instead you were busy, too busy for the one you now miss
Hold your loved one close today, whisper in their ear
Tell them that you love them and why you hold them dear
Say “I’m sorry, please forgive me, you’re the best, it’s okay”
So if tomorrow never comes you’ll not regret today.

Rick Warren
