love me tender......

Love Me Now
If you are ever going to love me,

Love me now,

while I can know

The sweet and tender feelings,

Which from true affections 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'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 am living

So I can treasure it.
