[Chorus] 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 But I let time go lightly with you [Verse 1] Morning A time for breaking ground and sowing seed And yet we give up our sunshine So we can buy what we need And that leaves the evening To share a fire with a friend or two To lose sight of the hours To go lightly with you [Chorus] 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 But I let time go lightly with you [Verse 2] Old friends They mean much more to me than the new friend '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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 But I let time go lightly with you [Outro] 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
