Love Me Now While I Am Living

Love Me Now While I Am Living

If you're ever going to love me,
Love me now, while I can know
The sweet and tender feelings,
From which true affections flow.
Love me now, while I am living.
Do not wait until I'm gone,
And then chisel it in marble,
Tender words on ice-cold stone.
If you have loving thoughts of me,
Please, tell me now, I pray.
No, don't wait another minute,
We may only have today.....
If you wait until I'm sleeping,
Never wakening here again,
There'll be walls of earth between us,
And I would not hear you then.
So, if you ever loved me,
Even just a little bit,
Let me know while I am living,
So I'll feel and treasure it.
