They were the loving kind She was black and he was white In Virginia nineteen fifty-eight They found love amongst the hate Well the law said they could not wed They married anyway The sheriff put them both in jail Separated 'till they made their bail They changed the heart of a nation with their wedding vows 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 In their Virginia home and while the case worked it's way through the courts They brought three children to this world 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 with their wedding vows 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
