let time go lightly

i let time go lightly when i'm here with you

i let time go lightly when the day is through. i keep a watch on time when i've have work to do

i let time go lightly with you. morning

a time for breaking ground and sowing seeds

and yet we give up our sunshine

so we can buy what we need. that leaves the evening

to share a fire with a friend or two

to lose sight of the hours

to go lightly with you

i let time go lightly when i'm here with you

i let time go lightly when the day is through. i keep a watch on time when i've got work to do

i let time go lightly with you. old friends

they mean much more to me than the new friends

cause they can see where you are

and they know where you've been. music

has been my oldest friend

my fiercest foe

cause it can take me so high

yes it can make me so low. when i was a child my mother would help me along

she'd rock me to sleep and sing me a song. so i learned to love the music of all the tunes in my mind

the changing of chords

the rhythm of time. i let time go lightly when i'm here with you

i let time go lightly when the day is through. i keep a watch on time when i've got work to do

i let time go lightly with you. yes i let time go lightly with you

and a fire

and a friend or two

with you and a fire and a friend or two

a friend or two and you
