Chorus 1:
  
            C                   Dm 
It's now or never, come hold me tight 
           G7                  C 
Kiss me my darling, be mine to-night

             C                          Dm 
When I first saw you with your smile so tender 
             G7                    C 
My heart was captured, my soul sur-rendered 
            C                        Dm 
I'd spend a lifetime waiting for the right time

Now that your near the time is here at last.

Just like a willow, we would cry an ocean 
           G7                     C     
If we lost true love and sweet de-votion 
             C                         Dm 
Your lips ex-cite me, let your arms in-vite me

For who knows when we'll meet a-gain this way
