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 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 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.
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, and 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," "Forgive me," "Thank you," or
"It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.
I love you so much, Larry.
Rest in Peace, lil bro.
