The Time Is Right for Love

[Verse 1]
When I saw you in the garden
Sweet lilac in your hair
Sunlight seemed to surround you
And bless the morning air
And 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

[Chorus]
'Cause 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
'Cause 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

[Chorus]
'Cause 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
But 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
