Deniece Williams

Darling, move a little closer to me
Darling, there are the stars
And a great big moon shining above
Let me hold you close to me
We could feel so heavenly
Let me love you

We know every rule of love there is
We know and we both know
Love is made up of some give and take
Plus heartache

Let's not waste a perfect night
Over some small foolish fight
Let me love you

Now is the time for love
Now is the time for loving
Now is the time for love
Let me hold you close to me
We could feel so heavenly
Let me love you

Can you find it in your heart, my dear?
Can you forgive and forget?
All my past mistakes have no regrets
Ooh

Let me hold you close to me
We could feel so heavenly
Let me love you

Now is the time for love
Now is the time for loving
A little missing
A little hollering, baby
Now is the time for love

Let's not waste a perfect night
Over some small foolish fight
Let me love you

Now is the time for love
A little missing
A little rushing, baby
Now is the time for loving, baby

Now is the time for love
Let me hold you close to me
I wanna feel a little heavenly
Let me love you
Now is the time for love
