Now Is The Time For Love

(album: In Full Bloom - 1969)

Come take the hand of love
And let it be your guide
Open your heart and find
That true love (True love)
Has come inside (Inside)

Now is the time for love
While the heart is young
You waited for so long
It's over now, your time has come

You sat alone and watched
People in love go strolling by
You wanted to cry
It hurt to see them so happy
While your heart cried out for love

Why couldn't it be you
That felt the way they do, you'd say, oh (You'd say)
But now it's gone, the hurt you felt so long
'Cause I'm here with you
I'll never leave you

We will walk in love
Beneath the stars above
Happiness will come our way
Forget the heartache of yesterday

Oh darling, now is the time for love
While the heart is young
You waited for so long
It's over now, your time has come
Ooh

Now let them see
The way you walk with me
Let them envy you
Like you used to do
Let them sit and stare
People everywhere, wishing they could be like us

So please don't hesitate (Don't hesitate)
'Cause love has answered your long wait
Oh darling

Your wait is over, darling (Now is the time for love)
So come and walk with me (While the heart is young)
Reach out and hold my hand (You waited for so long)
We're fine now, destiny (It's over now, your time has come)

Oh darling, now is the time for love
While the heart is young
