Here and Now

Verse 1

My favourite place is “here”

This is where I want to be

Move away? Me? No fear!

Need to be where I can see

You are by my side

There was a place one day

Another one on another

She and I used to play

Real-life father and mother

With no place to hide

Suddenly so lost

No landmark in sight

Never mind the cost

Got to find the light

Everything now is bright

Climate no way denying

Here, everywhere you are

No more the dream of flying

Certain of our love

Here before - Here again - You are by my side

Verse 2

My favourite time is “now”

Surely there’s nothing like it?

All present and correct

Are any words so true?

You are by my side

“Then” seems so long ago

Too far away to measure

Dashing around to and fro

Never a moment’s leisure

To find out who you are

When things go wrong

You feel it in your heart

When things are right

You know it in your soul

“Here” is the place for me

This is my prime location

“Now” is the hour to be

True to my new vocation

With all the world to see

Free to come – Free to go – You are by my side
