If you are to love me,
Love me now.
So I may feel the true
affection flow.
Love me now,
not when I'm gone.
Or wait until it's chiseled
in marble.
The sweet words,
on ice-cold stone.
If you have tender thoughts of me,
tell me now.
Don't wait 'til I'm a sleep,
or never to be awakened.
For there will be death between us,
and I won't hear you.
If you love me even a little bit,
tell me now while I'm living.
So I may hold you in my arms,
as I treasure it.
