The Loving Time

It reads like a fairytale, and that's what it was

Young man in his prime, young girl from the cross

The most perfect of strangers, and then the night closed in

And the holy ground took care of everything

Now she was a fine one, and he was a handsome man

One look was enough, and away they ran

They spent many happy hours and then the night closed in

And the holy ground took care of everything

Oh what's the use in complaining?

In for a penny, in for a pound

I remember the loving time

And nothing else really counts

And I recall the promise they made

With a faith I can but admire

That she'd be the one he adored

And he'd be her heart's desire

It didn't come true in the end, they went their separate ways

He couldn't change what he was, she wasn't ready to wait

They couldn't live in the daylight, they let the night close in

And the holy ground took care of everything

They couldn't live in the daylight, they let the night close in

And the holy ground took care of everything

They couldn't live in the daylight, they let the night close in

And the holy ground took care of everything

I remember the loving time

And nothing else really counts
