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       Csus4 C
And the grass won't pay no mind

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

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 break:
Now now now now now now now

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
