The Time Is Right for Love

When I saw you in the garden,

sweet lilac in your hair

The sunlight seemed to surround you

and bless the morning air

An' I wondered what your name was,

and if you would dance with me,

I heard you cry for mercy

But, my eyes they could not see

'Cos the time is right for love,

The time is right for love,

You can pray to the Lord above

But, the time is right for love

So much for all your sweet words,

all that you said you would do

Remember all my love songs,

they were promises to you

But, I don't hold it against you,

I know you're not to blame

So draw your circle around me

and we'll put all your lovers to shame

'Cos the time is right for love,

The time is right for love,

You can pray to the Lord above

But, the time is right for love

'Cos the time is right for love,

The time is right for love,

You can pray to the Lord above

But, the time is right for love...
