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
…i hear her saying
Chorus:
Love me today, and let my strength be your own
Love me today, because 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
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
…so hear them saying
Chorus
….love me today (oh)
