Long ago, I'd sit For hours on his knee And in my mind, I still can hear The stories he told to me I hope he knew what I never said There was always time to wait Till the rocking chair was empty Sometimes we learn too late You never know each day What might be taken away Life never lets us see what's down the road There's only one chance you get Leave nothing left unsaid Tomorrow's a long time to go and you never know Silence doesn't mean you're strong I wish I'd known before 'Cause I couldn't find the words to tell her Please don't walk out the door She couldn't see inside my heart I couldn't see past my pride I should've said I love you God knows I never tried You never know each day What might be taken away Life never lets us see what's down the road There's only one chance you get Leave nothing left unsaid Tomorrow's a long time to go and you never know Now every time I hold you I look in my child's eyes At last I know how to love here and now Someday we all say goodbye You never know each day What might be taken away Life never lets us see what's down the road There's only one chance you get Leave nothing left unsaid Tomorrow's a long time to go You never know each day What might be taken away Life never lets us see what's down the road There's only one chance you get Leave nothing left unsaid Tomorrow's a long time to go and you never know
