Lyrics

It’s now or (F)nev er;

come hold (Abdim)me (Gm7)tight.

Kiss me, my dar lin’;

be mine to (F)night.

To (Bbm)mor row

will be too (F)late.

It’s now (Abdim)or (C7)nev er;

my love won’t (F)wait.

When I first saw you,

with your smile so (Bb)ten der,

my heart was (C7)cap tured,

my soul sur (F)ren dered.

I’ve spent a life time

wait ing for the (Bb)right time.

Now that you’re (F)near, the time is (Gm)here

(C7)at (F)last.

It’s now or (F)nev er;

come hold (Abdim)me (Gm7)tight.

Kiss me, my dar lin’;

be mine to (F)night.

To (Bbm)mor row

will be too (F)late.

It’s now (Abdim)or (C7)nev er;

my love won’t (F)wait.

Just like a wil low,

we would cry an (Bb)o cean,

if we lost (C7)true love

and sweet de (F)vo tion.

Your lips ex cite me;

let your arms in (Bb)vite me,

for who knows (F)when we’ll meet a (Gm)gain

(C7)this (F)way.

It’s now or It’s now or my love won’t (F)wait.
