Story Behind the Song
Inspired by the events of 9-11-02
We shouldn't forget about the Survivors...and the rest of us....our loved ones, our friends, our co workers...we amy have seen them yesterday, an hour or a minute ago...but we will never know when it's the last time.

You Never Know When Its The Last Time

ASCAP
(Verse 1)
He kissed her goodbye,
On a Tuesday morning , just like always
He gets into his car and drives away.
Another busy day,
Just like always
But soon the world, will never be the same
Chorus:
How could a perfect day, get dark so early?
How could a moment, in this world , bring tears to every eye?
The answers to these questions,
Are on everybodys mind
And the truth that you we never know, when it’s the last time
(Verse 2)
Three thousand miles away,
A call is answered
He said, Momma, I think Im gonna die
Tell everyone, I love them and don’t worry
Then the call disappeared out of the sky.
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
Families, Friends and Strangers
Gather round and pray
Holding hands and crying
Wiping tears away.
Pictures of the lost ones
You see up and down the street,
Not far from twisted metal, dust and smoke, in a giant heap
(Chorus)
Bridge:
The saddest day in history
Is the world’s most dreadful crime
Now its true, that we never know, when it’s the last time
Chorus
