Written by Neil Diamond

Listen easy

You can hear God callinÂ’

Walking barefoot by a stream

Come unto me

Your hair softly fallinÂ’

On my face as in a dream

And the time will be our time

And the grass wonÂ’t pay no mind



SayinÂ’ nothinÂ’

LyinÂ’ where the sun is

BakinÂ’ down upon our sighs

My lips touch you

With their soft wet kisses

Your hands gentle in reply



And the time will be our time

And the grass wonÂ’t pay no mind



Child, touch my soul with your cries

And the music will know what we found

I hear a hundred goodbyes

But today I hear only one sound

The moment weÂ’re living is now

Na, na, na, na, na, na



Young bird flyinÂ’

And a soft wind blowinÂ’

Cools the sweat inside my palms

Close my eyes and see the flowers growinÂ’

As you lay sleeping in my arms



And the time will be our time

And the grass wonÂ’t pay no mind
