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
