When I saw you in the garden   Sweet lilac in your hair   The 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      '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      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
