The Time is NOW
If you're ever going to love me,
Love me now, while I can know
The sweet and tender feelings
Which from true affections flow.
Love me now while I am living.
Do not wait until I'm gone
And then have it chiseled in marble,
Sweet words on ice-cold stone.
If you have tender thoughts of me,
Please tell me now.
If you wait until I am sleeping,
never to awaken,
There will be death between us
And I won't hear you then.
So if you love me, even a little bit,
Let me know it while I am living
So I can know and treasure it.
