Lyrics
It’s now or neverCome hold me tightKiss me my darlingBe mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too lateIt’s now or neverMy love won’t wait
When I first saw youWith your smile so tenderMy heart was capturedMy soul surrendered
I spent a lifetimeWaiting for the right timeNow that you’re nearThe time is here, at last
It’s now or never
Come hold me tightKiss me my darlingBe mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too lateIt’s now or neverMy love won’t wait
Just like a willowWe would cry an oceanIf we lost true loveAnd sweet devotion
Your lips excite meLet your arms invite meFor who knows whenWe’ll meet again this way
It’s now or never
Come hold me tightKiss me my darlingBe mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too lateIt’s now or neverMy love won’t wait
It’s now or neverMy love won’t wait
It’s now or neverMy love won’t waitIt’s now or neverMy love won’t wait
