  C#             F#   G   G# 
    Listen easy,               you can hear God calling 
  C#        F#              G#       F#   G# 
    Walking barefoot by the stream 
  C#             F#   G   G# 
    Come on to me,             Your hair's softly falling 
  C#      F#           G# 
    On my face as in a dream 
            F#               C# 
    And the time will be our time 
            F#                 C# 
    And the grass won't pay no mind 
 
  C#               F#   G   G# 
    Saying nothing,              lying where the sun is 
  C#        F#              G#       F#   G# 
    Baking down upon our sides 
  C#                   F#   G   G# 
    My lips touch you,              with their soft wet kisses 
  C#           F#        G# 
    Your hands gentle in reply 
            F#               C# 
    And the time will be our time 
            F#                 C#      G# 
    And the grass won't pay no mind 
 
    C#              F# 
    Child, touch my soul with your cries 
            G#                         C# 
    And the music will know what we've found 
    C#        F# 
    I, hear a hundred good-byes 
        C#                    D#m 
    But today I hear only one sound 
        C#                     D#m 
    The moment we're living is now 
    D#m {NC} 
    Now now now now now now now 
 
  C#                   F#   G   G# 
    Young bird flying,              and a soft wind blowing 
  C#          F#              G#       F#   G# 
    Cools the sweat inside my palms 
  C#               F#   G   G# 
    Close my eyes,               hear the flowers growing 
  C#           F#             G# 
    As you lay sleeping in my arms 
            F#               C# 
    And the time will be our time 
            F#                 C# 
    And the grass won't pay no mind 
           F#                 C# 
    No the grass won't pay no mind
