Let Time Go Lightly Lyrics - Harry Chapin

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

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 tunes 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
