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 am gone
        And then have it chiselled 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 will be death between us
        And I won't hear you then
        So if you love me, even a little bit
        Let me know while I am living
        So that I can treasure it
