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
