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
