When was the last time That they heard you say Mother or father, I love you And when was the last time That they heard you say Daughter or son, I love you
Ones you say you cherish everyday Can instantly be taken away Then you'd say I know this can't be true When you never took the time To simply tell them "I love you"
When was the last time That they heard you say Sister or brother, I love you And when was the last time That they heard you say Darling or best friend, I love you
The one for whom you'd give your very life Could be taken in the twinkling of an eye Through you tears you'd ask why did you go Knowing you didn't always show Just how much you loved them so
