(Both) Our love, our love was ahead of it's time Like the bitter sweet grapes growing green on the vine Now we reach for the cup full of yesterday's wine Our love was ahead of it's time. --- Instrumental --- (Deborah) Is that not the way of the cruel hand of fate To play with our dreams and counsel us to wait (George) And now that we're ready and we found it's too late Our love was ahead of it's time.

Our love was ahead of it's time. Our love was ahead of it's time...
