Here And Now

I need to slow down,
Stop, relax and take a breather.
I need to look back,
Remember, reminisce and reflect
Because I’m not so sure of tomorrow
And if you’ll still be there
So allow me, if just for a minute
To savour the memories
And hug in my heart
The joy of days gone by.

I need to slow down,
Stop, relax and take a breather.
I need to look back,
Remember, reminisce and reflect
I close my eyes and see
A lucid picture of your face
I feel the warmth of your embrace
And the taste of your kiss lingers
As does the trace of your fingers
From the time when this love was much simpler

I need to slow down,
Stop, relax and take a breather.
I need to look back,
Remember, reminisce and reflect
Please don’t say you will
When we both know that you won’t
Don’t promise me the stars
Or pledge to move the heavens
Just stay here and hold me
And give me here and now.
