Now is forever
That, you ought to know
You don't want me back now
So, now, I must go

It's not that I don't love you
It's not that I don't care
But, now's the time I need you most
And you just aren't there

Once we were together
But we fell apart, somehow
I guess that that was then, my friend
But this is here and now

I wish that I could tell you
Exactly how I feel
But wishes are for lover's fools
And dreams are never real

I have to say goodbye, now
I just can not stay
Because now is forever
And there's nothing I can say
