Story Behind The Song

Mark Shaltz and I share a love of song-writing. Although neither of us did much, if any, co-writing, there was something about our styles and personalities that lent itself to collaborating. We just started writing this one day - for no reason and it isn't really about anyone in particular. I especially like the rhyme scheme in this song.

Song Description

Recognizing that a new relationship brings the promise of new love

Lyrics

No Time Like The Present

V1: There's no time like the present
To tell you that I meant it
When I said no one moves me like you do
I'd like to think the future
Has a place for me and you there
Don't need much - only room enough for two
I know it's kind of scary
But I can't deny I'm very into you
Take a minute - imagine your life with me in it
I can see it, I can feel it
How about you?

V2: It might seem kinda sudden
And if you didn't see it coming
Neither did I but I want you to know
Now that I've seen you
Don't want nothing between you and me
Can't imagine letting go
This is just the start
So keep an open heart and listen
To what I'm saying
This is not a game we're playing
It's the real deal - my heart's telling me so

Bridge: The more time you spend chasing after love, the less you get it
Love wants you to let it find you when you least expect it

V3: I think it's only natural
To wonder if we're actually
Lucky enough to have found
Our own little oasis
From the loneliness that faced us
And turned our lives upside down
There is no concealing
The happiness I'm feeling now we
Finally found each other
Amid the chaos and the clutter
Of the lives we lived up till now

Tag: There's no time like the present
There's no time like now
