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...
