Chorus: 
G5             G5            C5 
I let time go lightly when I'm here with you 
A5            D5                C5       G5          C5 
I let time go lightly when the day is through 
G5             G5                  C5 
I keep a watch on time when I've got work to do 
A5            D5             C5  G5 
I let time go lightly with you 
 

G5     C5 G5           C5                   G5            C5 G5 
Morning, a time for breaking ground and sowing seed 
                       C5        D5         C5           G5 
And yet we give up our sunshine so we can buy what we need 
    C5               G5     C5 G5          C5           G5              C5 G5 
And that leaves the evening to share a fire with a friend or two 
G5                    C5      D5     C5            G5 
to lose sight of the hours; to go lightly with you 

{chorus} 
 
Old friends, they mean much more to me than a new friend 

'cause they can see where you are and they know where you've been 

Music has been my closest friend, my fiercest foe 

'cause it can take you so high; yes, it can take you so low 
 

C5            G5        D5      G5     A5 
When I was a child my mother would help me along 
A5                          C5 
She'd rock me to sleep and sing me a song 
C5                G5       D5        G5       A5 
So I learned to love the music of all the tunes in my head 
A5                       C5 
The changing of chords, the rhythm of time 

{chorus} 
 

    C5             D5            C5 
Yes I let time go lightly with you 
      A5          D5     G5 
and a fire and a friend or two 
     A5        C5          D5      G5 
With you and a fire and a friend or two 
C5                    G5 
A friend or two, and you
