Lyrics

Now and Then
Drew James © 2002

I’ll try to do my best for you
When I’m gone and when I’m next to you
Short or long, I’ll treasure all the time we spend

I won’t ask if it’s now or never
I won’t ask will it last forever
I’ll just ask you to love me when you can

New days color in your eyes
Makes me lose my sense of time
When you say you love me now and then

I won’t ask what you see in me
I won’t ask was it meant to be
I’ll just ask you to love me when you can

Will you love me now when it seems so easy
Will you love me now when there’s nothing much to lose
Now, as the music plays so sweetly
Now, is what I’ll ask of you

Truth won’t shine on all our wishes
Maybe rags and never riches
If things go wrong will you try to understand

I won’t ask you to wear a halo
I won’t ask you to chase a rainbow
I’ll just ask you to love me when you can

Will you love me then if it ain’t so easy
Will you love me then if its everything to lose
Then, when the violins are weeping
Then, is what I’ll ask of you

I’ll just ask you to love me when you can
I’ll just ask you to love me now and then
