  			C               G                            C 
  Listen easy,     you can hear God calling. 
            F                G / 
Walkin' bare-foot by a stream. 
C              G                            C 
  Come unto me,   your hair softly falling 
          F             G 
On my face   as in a dream. 

(Chorus) 
       F                 C 
And the time will be our time, 
       F      C     F      C 
And the grass won't pay no mind. 

C                G                          C 
  Saying nothin,    lying where the sun is 
          F               G / 
Baking down upon our sighs. 
C                   G                            C 
  My lips touch you   with their soft wet kisses, 
              F              G 
Your hands gen - tle in reply. 

(Chorus) 
       F                 C 
And the time will be our time, 
       F      C     F      C 
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. 
             F  
I hear a hun - dred goodbyes, 
         C                   Dm     
But to - day I hear only one sound. 
    C                      Dm 
The moment we've living is now. 

Na, na, na, na, na, 

C                    G                         C 
  Young bird flying,   and a soft wind blowing, 
              F                G / 
cools the sweat inside my palms. 
C                   G                           C 
  Close my eyes and   hear the flowers growing 
          F                 G    
as you lay   sleeping in my arms. 

(Chorus) 
       F                 C  
And the time will be our time, 
       F      C     F      C 
And the grass won't pay no mind. 
       F     C     F      C       F    C 
No the grass won't pay no mind._____________
