If you're ever going to love me,
love me now, while I can know
All the sweet and tender feelings
which from real affection flow.
Love me now, while I am living;
do not wait till I am gone
And then chisel it in marble...warm
love words on Ice-cold stone.
If you have dear, sweet thoughts about
me, why not whisper them to me.
Don't you know it would make me happy
and as glad as glad could be?
If you wait till I am sleeping,
never to waken here again,
There'll be walls of earth between us
and I couldn't hear you then.
So, dear, if you love me any,
if it's but a little bit,
Let me know it now while living;
so I can own and treasure it.
