The Time Is Now
Capturing Hearts: Neil Diamond's Timeless Anthem of Love
Lyrics
Look at me girl,
Expressing a desire for attention and connection.
I'm almost shakin'
Conveying nervousness or anticipation.
I want to hold you so bad
Expressing a strong yearning to embrace the person.
My insides are achin'
Describing intense emotional turmoil.
I want to say what's in my heart
Expressing a desire to articulate heartfelt emotions.
Like I never said it
Expressing a sense of regret for not expressing feelings sooner.
Then I'm gonna love you ,
Committing to express love in a memorable way.
Girl so you won't forget it.
Ensuring that the love expressed is unforgettable.
The time is now, and the place is here
Emphasizing the urgency of the moment for expressing love.
I'm gonna show you how,
Declaring the intention to demonstrate love.
How I feel about you
Expressing deep emotions toward the person.
You've got lips like I've never tasted
Complimenting the physical qualities of the person.
And anytime I'm not with you girl,
Highlighting the emptiness felt when not together.
That's the time I call wasted
Stating that time without the person is considered wasted.
You know, we got he kind of thing
Acknowledging a unique and irreplaceable connection.
You just can't beg or borrow
Emphasizing the exclusivity and rarity of their relationship.
Gonna show you what I mean
Promising to illustrate the depth of feelings.
And I don't mean tomorrow
Rejecting procrastination, emphasizing immediacy.
The time is now, and the place is here.
Reiterating the urgency of the moment for expressing love.
I'm gonna show you how,
Reaffirming the commitment to show love.
How I feel about you.
Reiterating deep emotional sentiments.
You know, we got the kind of thing
Re-emphasizing the uniqueness of their relationship.
You just can't beg or borrow
Stressing the impossibility of finding a similar connection elsewhere.
Gonna show you what I mean
Committing to illustrate the depth of feelings without delay.
And I don't mean tomorrow
Rejecting procrastination, emphasizing immediacy again.
And the time is now
Reiterating the importance of the present moment.
And the place is here
Stating the urgency and significance of the current situation.
I'm gonna show you how I feel, baby
Expressing the intention to reveal emotions in a tangible way.
I said the time is now, lady
Reiterating the immediate need to express love.
Ah, the place, the place is here,
Highlighting the significance of the current location.
I'm gonna show you how
Reaffirming the commitment to express love in the present.
