If I knew

Author: Unknown

If I knew it would be the last time

that I'd see you fall asleep,

I would tuck you in tighter

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 videotape each action and word

so I could hear them day after day

If I knew it would be the last time

I could spare an extra minute or two,

to stop and say "I love you,"

instead of assuming you would KNOW 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 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.
