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
