C             [E-F] G
  Listen easy,        you can hear God calling

C         F               G       F  G
  Walking barefoot by the stream

C              [E-F] 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       Csus C
And the grass won't pay no mind
[Verse]
C              [E-F] G
  Saying nothing,       lying where the sun is

C         F             G
   Baking down upon our sides

C                 [E-F] 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
[Middle 8]
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                   Dm
But today I hear only one sound

    C                      Dm
The moment we're living is now

  Dm 
  Now now now now now now now
[break] [Verse]
C                    [E-F] G
    Young bird flying,       and a soft wind blowing

C           F               G
  Cools the sweat inside my palms

C               [E-F] 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
