If Tomorrow

If tomorrow I should pass away,
What would my last thoughts be?
Would I think of all the harm I've caused,
Throughout my history?

Would my whole life flash before me,
Like they say, when someone dies?
Would I think of all the dreams I missed,
That I couldn't realize?

Would I leave behind a thousand regrets?
Or things I should have done?
Would I think of all the plans I made,
That hadn't yet begun?

Would I wish for maybe one more day,
To right things that were wrong?
To put things in their proper place
Where proper things belong

If tomorrow I should pass away,
What would my mind review?
I'd think myself a lucky man 
'Cause my thoughts would be of you
