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'm 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 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.

BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
If you have a tender message,
Or a loving word to say.
Don't wait till you forget it,
But whisper it today.

The tender word unspoken,
The letter never sent.
The long forgotten messages,
The wealth of love unspent.

For these, some hearts are breaking,
For these,some loved ones wait.
So show them that you care for them,
Before it is too late
