Love Me Now

If you are going to love me, Love me now,

while I can still know the sweet and tender feelings, Which from true affection flow.

Love me now while I am living. Do not wait until I’m gone And then have it chiseled 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 to awaken, There will be death between us, And I won’t hear you then.

So, if you love me, even a little bit, Let me know it while I am living So I can treasure it.
