It's Always the Right Time for Love

Give me a girl on a morning in Spring,
When the snail's on the thorn and the lark's on the wing.
Green buds are bursting, and little birds sing,
That is the right time for love.

Chorus:
The seasons may come, and the seasons may go
Sometimes the sunshine, sometimes the snow
I may not know much, but one thing I know,
It's always the right time for love.

Give me a girl on a fine summer's day,
Together we'll wander and roll in the hay
Sport in the sunshine and drive care away.
That is the right time for love.

Give me a girl on a crisp autumn eve
Walks in the woodland, crunching the leaves,
Harvest home hymns, and the last golden sheaves.
That is the right time for love.

Give me a girl on a cold winter's night
Chestnust a-roasting in fire so bright
Sitting together in dim candlelight
That is the right time for love.

Whatever the weather, or season of year
It's always the right time when I'm with my dear,
She fills me with joy and she brings me good cheer,
And it's always the right time for love.
