THE TIME IS NOW Author Unknown 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 until I am sleeping, never to awken, 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 wile I am living So I can treasure it.
