George Jones - Our Love Was Ahead of Its Time lyrics

George Jones & Deborah Allan

(George)

You came like a storm on a hot summer day

I had every reason to ask you to stay

When I saw what you had, it was too far away

Our love was ahead of its time.

(Both)

Our love, our love was ahead of its time

Like the fruit growing green on the vine

Now we reach for the cup full of yesterday's wine

Our love was ahead of its time.

--- Instrumental ---

(Deborah)

Now looking back I recognize

That sound in your voice, that look in your eyes

We said our hellos, we said our goodbyes

Our love was ahead of its time.

(Both)

Our love, our love was ahead of its 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 its 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 its time.

(Both)

Our love, our love was ahead of its time

Like the fruit growing green on the vine

Now we reach for the cup full of yesterday's wine

Our love was ahead of its time.

Our love was ahead of its time.

Our love was ahead of its time...
