T’was a good idea at the time To love that girl – drink her wine Twirl that moonlit night Take her hand hold tight [Verse] As in bed we lie Thoughts that float on high Then morning shower Dreams of life & power [Chorus] All seemed fine at the time Love that girl, drink her wine All seemed fine at the time Love that girl, drink her wine [Verse] As down the stairs we climb As down the stairs we climb Since we start each day With a book kneel to pray [Bridge] Twirl Twirl Twirl Moonlit night Twirl Twirl Twirl Hand hold tight [Verse] Good idea on sandy beach Not to swim out of reach Late on moonlit night Late on moonlit night [Chorus] All seemed fine at the time Love that girl, drink her wine All seemed fine at the time Love that girl, drink her wine [Outro] Late on that moonlit night Late on that moonlit night Late late late On that moonlit night (night) T’was a good idea at the time (time) To love that girl - drink her wine
