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 loose 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,
|
(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 tools 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
|
|

Let Time Go Lightly
