Lyrics

Now is Not the Time
Words/music by Carole Nelson

If you?re thinking of having an affair
If you?ve found someone for whom you care
Let me say
Now is not the time

And when I look you in the eye
If you find yourself about to lie
My oh my
Now is not the time

We?ve been together all these years
We?ve had our joys, we?ve cried our tears
But through all the hopes and fears
Its been you and me
As far as the eye can see

So if you?re thinking of having an affair
Be careful what you ask my heart to bear
I want you and I don?t want to share
Now is not the time.

If you go walking on the strand
And while you?re talking you take her hand
Oh baby
Now is not the time

And later at the hotel bar
If you get too drunk to drive the car
Oh baby
Now is not the time

We?ve been together all these years
We?ve had our joys, we?ve cried our tears
But through all the hopes and fears
It?s been you and me
As far as the eye can see

So if you?re thinking of having an affair
I don?t know how much my heart can bear
I want you and I don?t want to share
Now is not the time,
Not now, not ever
Now is not the time.
