Now That It Is Almost Over

NOW THAT IT IS ALMOST OVER Now that it is almost over I understand how much I love and want it to go on Now that it is almost over I understand how good it can be And how good it has often been Not that it is almost over I so much do not want it to be over- But what I want does not really matter here- I want it to go on and on But it won't - And I like the rest of them in the midst of it all Will be taken from it As if I did not matter to it at all- Oh Life oh World how much I love you now When I know I must leave you soon.
