"If I Only Had Today"

About 2 months ago, my friend Kelly went to the funeral of little 6 year old Sadie. She was telling me about this song that was read at the funeral called If I Only Had Today and how amazing it was. LDS singer Hilary Weeks wrote this song and sang it to Sadie in her home 1 day before she passed away. I had never heard of Hilary Weeks before and normally dont listen to spirtual music around the house. But, I downloaded this song from itunes and fell in love with it. It is so beautiful and moving. Listening to this has really inspired me to be a better mom and not to sweat the small stuff, like making sure my house is spotless all the time! These kids grow up so fast and I dont want to miss a minute of it.

Anyway, just wanted to share the words with you.

...But if there were no more tomorrows
If I knew that I could not stay
I know how I’d spend every moment
If I only had today

I’d hold you and listen
And I’d let the dishes sit in the sink
I’d tell you I love you over and over
And for once I’d just let the phone ring
Then I’d remind you of forever
And how our love would never change
If I only had today

I’d wake up before the sun did
And I’d watch as you quietly sleep
I’d pray for time to move slowly
Knowing the moment won’t keep

All the gifts that Heaven has given
Every blessing that’s come my way
Wouldn’t mean anything without you
So if I only had today

I’d hold you and listen
I’d memorize every detail of your face
I’d tell you I love you over and over
I wouldn’t let excuses get in the way
Then I’d remind you of forever
And how our love would never change
If I only had today

There’s no time like the present
Life doesn’t come with any guarantees
The sun will set and time won’t wait
So while I have today

I’ll hold you and listen
I’ll let the dishes sit in the sink
I’ll tell you I love you over and over
For once I’ll just let the phone ring
And I’ll remind you of forever
And how our love will never change
Because I have today
