AND THE GRASS WON’T PAY NO MIND lyrics

Written by Neil Diamond
Listen easy
You can hear God callinÂ’
Walking barefoot by a stream
Come unto me
Your hair softly fallinÂ’
On my face as in a dream
And the time will be our time
And the grass wonÂ’t pay no mind

SayinÂ’ nothinÂ’
LyinÂ’ where the sun is
BakinÂ’ 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 wonÂ’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 weÂ’re living is now
Na, na, na, na, na, na

Young bird flyinÂ’
And a soft wind blowinÂ’
Cools the sweat inside my palms
Close my eyes and see the flowers growinÂ’
As you lay sleeping in my arms

And the time will be our time
And the grass wonÂ’t pay no mind
