Not now(duet)

“Not Now (Duet)”

(A conversation through song)

We’re already drowning in all this noise,

I’m losing myself, and I can’t find the joy.

We’re fighting over things that don’t make sense,

And now you tell me there’s more to defend.

What’s the point of another child to raise?

When we’re lost in this endless haze.

I thought we were done, I thought we were through,

But now you’re telling me there’s one more to pursue.

Not now, Lily, not now,

We’ve got enough to sort out, somehow.

I can’t handle another storm,

We’re already far from warm.

I know you’re scared, I know you’re tired,

But this is our life, this is what we’ve desired.

We may fight, but we still love,

And this baby is a gift from above.

We can’t just walk away from this dream,

It’s not as simple as it may seem.

We’ve been through hell, and we’ll get through,

But giving up now… that’s not what we do.

Not now, not ever, no,

We can’t just let this go.

There’s a life inside of me,

And we have to let it be.

What if we just forget this dream,

Forget this life that’s never what it seems?

It’s too much to carry, too much to bear,

I can’t handle it, I can’t be fair.

You don’t see the way I feel,

But this child’s a blessing, it’s all so real.

We’ll figure it out, we always do,

I need you by my side, I need you, too.

Husband: Not now, Lily, not now,

We’ve got enough to sort out, somehow.

Lily: Not now, not ever, no,

We can’t just let this go.

Husband: I can’t handle another storm,

We’re already far from warm.

Lily: There’s a life inside of me,

And we have to let it be.

Husband: Forget the baby, forget this fight,

Lily: We can’t forget, we’ll make it right.

Husband: Forget the love that we used to ignite,

Lily: We still have love, we’ll find the light.

Husband: Not now, not now,

Lily: Not now, not ever, no.

Both: We can’t go on like this, not now,

But we’ll get through, somehow.
