There is a Time         (written by Rodney Dillard and Mitch Jayne)
Capo 3rd Fret
AmThere is a time for love and laughter,
The days will Cpass like summer Amstorms;
The winter Cwinds will follow Amafter,
But there is DmlovEme and love is waAmrm.
Chorus:
AmThere is a time for us to wander,
When time is Cyoung and so are Amwe;
The woods are Cgreener over Amyonder;
The path is nDmew Emand the world is Amfree.
AmThere is a time when leaves are fallin',
The woods are Cgray, the paths are Amold;
The snow will Ccome when geese are Amcalling',
We need a DmfirEme against the Amcold.
Chorus
AmSo do your roamin' in the springtime,
You'll find your Clove and a summer Amsun;
The frost will Ccome and bring a Amharvest,
And you can DmresEmt when the day is Amdone.
Chorus

There is a Time (written by Rodney Dillard and Mitch Jayne)

Capo 3rd Fret

There is a time for love and laughter,

C Am

The days will pass like summer storms;

C Am

The winter winds will follow after,

Dm Em Am

But there is love and love is warm.

Chorus:

There is a time for us to wander,

C Am

When time is young and so are we;

C Am

The woods are greener over yonder;

Dm Em Am

The path is new and the world is free.

There is a time when leaves are fallin',

C Am

The woods are gray, the paths are old;

C Am

The snow will come when geese are calling',

Dm Em Am

We need a fire against the cold.

Chorus

So do your roamin' in the springtime,

C Am

You'll find your love and a summer sun;

C Am

The frost will come and bring a harvest,

Dm Em Am

And you can rest when the day is done.

Chorus
