Nelson 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
