AND THE GRASS WON'T PAY NO MIND

Written by Neil Diamond

Listen easy

You can hear God callin'

Walking barefoot by a stream

Come unto me

Your hair softly fallin'

On my face as in a dream

And the time will be our time

And the grass won't pay no mind

Sayin' nothin'

Lyin' where the sun is

Bakin' 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 won'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 we're living is now

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Young bird flyin'

And a soft wind blowin'

Cools the sweat inside my palms

Close my eyes and see the flowers growin'

As you lay sleeping in my arms

And the time will be our time

And the grass won't pay no mind
