Now Is a Lonely Time

(Ted Harris)



(The only warmth I know now is from a cup of coffee

in these two lonely hands

And what a poor and silent partner regret is

What I had then and what I have now no use to know the hour

Now is a lonely time.)



Now is a lonely time

Now you'll no longer be mine

Now and forever what can I do

Now that I'm losin' you.



Now is a time to regret

Now until I can forget

But you never told me how do I spend

The long lonely difference between now and then.



Now is the last of the wine

That so sweetly flavored the time

Now there's no reason to see each day through

Now that I'm losin' you.



Now is a lonely time

Now you'll no longer be mine

Now and forever what can I do

Now that I'm losin' you...
