[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

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
