And The Grass Won't Pay No Mind
Neil Diamond


Listen easy
You can hear God calling
Walking barefoot
By the stream
Come on to me
Your hair's softly falling
On my face as in a dream
And the time will be
Our time
And the grass won't pay
No mind
Saying nothing
Lying where the sun is
Baking down
Upon our sides
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've found
I
Hear a hundred good-byes
But today I hear only one sound
The moment we're living is now
Now now now now
Young bird flying
And a soft wind blowing
Cools the sweat inside my palms
Close my eyes
Hear the flowers growing
As you lay sleeping
In my arms
And the time will be
Our time
And the grass won't pay
No mind
No the grass won't pay
No mind
