Lyrics
There is a time for love and laughter
The days will pass like summer storms
The winter wind will follow after
But there is love, and love is warm
There is a time for us to wander,
When time is young and so are we
The woods are greener over yonder
The path is new, the world is free
There is a time when leaves are falling
The woods are grey, the paths are old
The snow will come when geese are calling
You need a fire against the cold
So do your roaming in the springtime
You'll find your love in the summer sun
The frost will come and bring the harvest
And you can sleep when day is done
There is a time for us to wander,
When time is young and so are we
The woods are greener over yonder
The path is new, the world is free
