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
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}
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 head
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
