| When I saw you in the garden
|
| Sweet lilac in your hair,
|
| The sunlight seemed to surround you
|
| And bless the morning air.
|
| 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.
|
| (solo)
|
| '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… |
