Cover art for Cherish lyrics by Kool and the Gang

pretty self-explanatory: cherish your partner and make sure she/he knows how much you love her/him because she/he might be gone the next day ("if you receive your calling before I awake...")

At first I cannot understand the meaning of "to receive one’s calling". But now I'm sure it is.
