Love Me Today

Looking back on a girl I knew

Whose smile and laughter carried me through

Oh, the way that I felt when she looked at me that way

When I heard she was gone I had no one to hold

I wept as I felt my heart growin' cold

Like Poppa she taught me there's no time like today

But I hear her saying

Love me today, and let my strength be your own

Love me today, 'cause tomorrow I'll be gone

When I feel it's time to go, I'll be on my way

So love me today

I remember a time back when

Poppa would laugh as I held his hand

And just one embrace would make my troubles pass

I thought those times would never end

The day that he left he smiled and he said

I'll be home soon but Poppa never came back

I hear him saying

Love me today, and let my strength be your own

Love me today, 'cause tomorrow I'll be gone

When I feel it's time to go, I'll be on my way

So love me today

Don't be afraid to say, "I love you"

Take the moment and make it last

? Cause if you don't tell them you love them

You might not get a second chance, no

So hear them saying

Love me today, and let my strength be your own

Love me today, 'cause tomorrow I'll be gone

When I feel it's time to go, I'll be on my way

So love me today, love me today, oh, ooh
