Now and Then or Then and Now. Copyright, 1887, by Frank Harding. Words and Music by Will H. Fox. 
Now and then I sit and ponder o'er those happy days gone by, And, as my thoughts they wander, a tear bedims my eye; For you promised to be faithful, no matter what betide. And, for fear you did not love me, I oft wished I had died. 
Chorus. If you love me then, my idol, don't forget your sacred vow: Tell me, sweetheart, won't you, darling, is It true you love me now? 
Then you spoke these words, "I love you," then my heart was free from care; Then I held you to my bosom, then I kissed your cheek so fair. Now alone I wait your coming, now alone I weep and pine; Now I want you with me always, now I want to call you mine.-Chorus.
