Love me now,
As if you never loved before,
Love me now,
As if there's nothing else to live for.

Love me and be loved by me,
My beloved child,
Love me now for all eternity,
Than in all eternity,
You may love another.

All your kisses won't be worth a dime,
If they be not now,
All your loving will not be enough,
If you give me more tomorrow.

Love me for a day,
Betrothed,
And then with dawn,

Go - be loved by others.
