"The Time Is Now"

If you are ever going to love me,

Love me now, while I can know

The sweet and tender feelings

Which from true affection 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 till I am sleeping,

Never to awaken

There will be death between us

And I won't hear you.

So, if you love me ~ even a little bit

Let me know while I am living

So I can treasure it.
