There's time enough for love
If we but savor what we have.
One life to live,
So much to give,
Why fear what might be lost.
The past is safe inside us,
Still echoing its joys.
The future bears a few more tears,
Wrapped up in rapturous song.
So love me now my dearest,
Don't worry
It must end.
But not before we spend this life
Ascending true love's heights.
We loved before,
We'll love again,
This life brings passion's fruits.
We pluck them when they ripen
And eat them fresh
And sweet.
Nutrition for the soul,
That's what you are to me,
So never doubt it's worth the pain
Of knowing it will end.
Drink up my love,
Let's toast this life,
The only one we'll live.
