The Time Is Now

The Time Is Now
---------------

If you are ever going to claim me, if you would love me
Do it now, let me know, don't leave me hanging
Love me now...while I am living, while I am waiting.
Please do not wait until I am gone, until we are parted
And then have it chiseled marble above my resting place
Sweet, meaningless words on an ice-cold stone.
The time is now...while I can still be with you,
While I can still speak to you with my soul
While I can tell you what is in my heart
What thoughts rage through the rivers of my mind.
If you do have tender thoughts of me, tell me now
If you wait until the last instant of your forever
You'd have waited too long, Death'll be between us
And I will never have the chance to hear your voice.
Do not wait until death has claimed me, has stolen me
To decide that I am who you want, whom you love
Don't assume we will have forever to be together
That you have all of the time to make it known
So,if I'm important, if I'm wanted, even a little bit
Let me know now while I am living so I can treasure it.
