Lyrics
It’s now or never
Come hold me tight Kiss me my darling Be mine tonightTomorrow will be too late
It’s now or never My love won’t waitWhen I first saw you
With your smile so tender My heart was captured My soul surrenderedI spent a lifetime
Waiting for the right time Now that you’re near The time is here, at lastIt’s now or never
Come hold me tight Kiss me my darling Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late
It’s now or never My love won’t waitJust like a willow
We would cry an ocean If we lost true love And sweet devotionYour lips excite me
Let your arms invite me For who knows when We’ll meet again this wayIt’s now or never
Come hold me tight Kiss me my darling Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late
It’s now or never My love won’t waitIt’s now or never
My love won’t waitIt’s now or never
My love won’t wait It’s now or never My love won’t wait
