If you are ever going to love me,love me now, while I can know the sweet and tender feelingswhich from true affection flow.Love me nowwhile I am living.Do not wait until I am goneand then have it chiseled in marble,sweet words in cold stone.If you have tender thoughts of me,please tell me now.If you wait until I'm 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'm livingso I can treasure it.
