They changed the heart of a nation
From the highest court in the land
Their union would lawfully stand
Simply Mildred and Richard
That's how they'll be remembered
They proved that love is truly blind
They were the loving kind.
The Lovings lived a quiet life
and while the case worked it's
Richard died in seventy- five
Mildred kept their love alive
'Till the spring of two thousand- eight
Fifty years beyond the hate
They changed the heart of a nation
From the highest court in the land
Their union would lawfully stand
Simply Mildred and Richard
That's how they'd be remembered
They proved that love is truly blind
They were the loving kind
