Why Now
Why Now?
Why Now?
You came to see me when I’m old; why now?
Why not when I was young and bold? Why now?
I lost my luster, my life, my love.
I’m rusty with age, nothing like gold; why now?
My youth has gone; you’re asking for what?
How many times should I tell you I’m old? Why now?
There was a time that I begged to hold your hands
Now I’m shaking and weak, nothing to hold; why now?
My yesterdays were spring, summer, and fall.
Today, my cold winter remains untold; why now?
You assume that I am what I was that day.
I’m telling let it go, none to be told, why now?
You want to buy my love as it’s worth that day,
Trust me; it’s gone, worthless to be sold; why now?
Do you remember “Haloo,” what it was? And now,
If you open your eyes, our minds unfold; why now?
