MAY 22/1928 - OCT 30/2004
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 A 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 COULD SPARE AN EXTRA MINUTE
TO STOP AND SAY "I LOVE YOU"
INSTEAD OF ASSUMING YOU WOULD KNOW I DO.
IF 1 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.
SO HOLD YOUR LOVED ONES CLOSE TO -DAY
AND WHISPER IN THEIR EAR.
TELL THEM HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM
AND THAT YOU’LL ALWAYS HOLD THEM DEAR.
