(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 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 lose sight of the hours

To go lightly with you

(chorus)


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 tunes in my mind
The changing of chords, the rhythm of time


(chorus)

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
