The Time Is Right for Love
Embracing Love's Perfect Moment
Lyrics
When I saw you in the Garden
Observation of the person in a pleasant setting (Garden).
Sweet lilac in your hair,
Descriptive imagery of flowers (lilac) in the person's hair.
The sunlight seemed to surround you
The person's presence is radiant and uplifting.
And bless the morning air.
A positive aura surrounding the person in the morning.
I wondered what your name was
Curious about the person's identity.
And if you would dance with me,
Desire to dance with the person.
I heard you cry for mercy
Reference to the person's distress or plea for help.
But, my eyes they could not see.
Despite the distress, unable to perceive clearly.
'Cause the time is right for love,
Emphasis on the opportune moment for love.
The time is right for love,
Reiteration of the right time for love.
You can pray to the Lord above
Suggests that praying won't change the timing for love.
But, the time is right for love.
Confirmation that the present moment is suitable for love.
So much for all your sweet words,
Dismissal of sweet words and focus on actions.
All that you said you would do.
Recollection of unfulfilled promises through love songs.
Remember all my love songs,
Highlighting the importance of remembered commitments.
They were promises to you.
Love songs served as promises to the person.
But, I don't hold it against you,
Forgiving attitude; understanding the person's innocence.
I know you're not to blame
Acknowledgment that the person is not at fault.
So draw your circle around me
Suggesting protection and loyalty by drawing a circle.
And we'll put all your lovers to shame.
Intent to surpass the person's past lovers.
'Cause the time is right for love,
Reiteration of the favorable time for love.
The time is right for love,
Stressing again the right moment for love.
You can pray to the Lord above
Emphasizing that divine intervention won't alter the timing.
But, the time is right for love.
Confirming that the time is indeed suitable for love.
'Cause the time is right for love,
Repeated emphasis on the current opportune time for love.
The time is right for love,
Reiteration of the right time for love.
You can pray to the Lord above
Restating that praying won't change the timing for love.
But, the time is right for love
Final confirmation of the present moment being right for love.
