[Intro]
Oh, oh
Mmm-hmm
Mmm-hmm

[Verse 1]
In the past, there have been
Many loves, many men
Have written about (Have written about, have written about)
Oh yeah, oh
But by the time those loves were recognized
By the time somebody realized
Most of them had gone and faded on

[Chorus]
But this love that I'm pledgin'
Will surely be a legend in its own time
Will be a legend in its own time
Ah, oh
Lord, have mercy

[Verse 2]
If a thousand yеars from now
They know of our love somehow
What do wе care? I wanna know
Well, we've got to do our best right here today
To make everybody come right out and say
This love that we share
Is a love beyond compare
[Chorus]
Yes, this love that I'm pledgin'
Will surely be a legend in its own time
Will be a legend in its own time

[Bridge]
Hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo, baby, baby, hey
Hmm-hmm
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Mmm

[Verse 3]
In your life, throughout eternity
You might as well reserve a place for me
Let it be said and heard (Said and heard)
Let's go and spread the word

[Chorus]
Let this love that I'm pledgin'
Will surely be a legend in its own time
This love will be a legend in its own time

[Outro]
Wow, yeah
Ooh, baby
Oh yeah, a legend in its own time
Yeah, yeah, yeah, a legend in its own time
Ah
