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…
