[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
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
