  • It's now or never
    Come hold me tight
    Kiss me my darling
    Be mine tonight
    Tomorrow will be too late
    It's now or never
    My love won't wait

    When I first saw you
    With your smile so tender
    My heart was captured
    My soul surrendered
    I'd spend a lifetime
    Waiting for the right time
    Now that you're near
    The time is here at last

    It's now or never
    Come hold me tight
    Kiss me my darling
    Be mine tonight
    Tomorrow will be too late
    It's now or never
    My love won't wait

    Just like a willow
    We would cry an ocean
    If we lost true love
    And sweet devotion
    Your lips excite me
    Let your arms invite me
    For who knows when
    We'll meet again this way

    It's now or never
    Come hold me tight
    Kiss me my darling
    Be mine tonight
    Tomorrow will be too late
    It's now or never
    My love won't wait
    It's now or never
    My love won't wait
    It's now or never
    My love won't wait
    It's now or never
    My love won't wait Writer/s: Aaron H. Schroeder, Eduardo Di Capua, Emmanuele Mazzucchi, Giovanni Capurro, Wally Gold
