Mary Black 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 I remember the loving time And nothing else really counts
