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)
|

Love Me Today Part II
