Words & Music by Johnny Mandel & Paul Francis Webster

A7 DM7  D  D9     D  Gdim
A time for sum - mer skies, 

 D  D9     D      D9   Bm7 F#m
For hum - ming - birds and butterflies,

Fdim  A    A9   A    Em7  A     A9   A7   Gdim   D
For  ten - der words that har - mo - nize with “love.”


A7 DM7  D    D9     D  Gdim
A time for climb - ing hills,

 D   D9     D  D9  Bm7 F#m 
For lean - ing out of  windowsills

Fdim  A  A9   A  Em7  A    A9    A7  A7/9 F#7
Ad - mir  -  ing the daf - fo - dills a - bove.


Bridge:

  Cdim     Bm      F#7     Bm7    B7
A time for holding hands together,

  Cdim     AM7     D9      AM7
A time for rainbow-colored weather,

  F#m      Bm7    Bm7/E       E         Cdim     A
A time for make-believe that we've been dreaming of.


A7 DM7  D    D9       D Gdim
As time goes drift - ing by,

D   D9     D   D9    Bm7 F#m
The wil - low bends, and so do I,

Fdim  A  A9   A      Em7    A    A9 A7  C#7   F#7
But  oh, my friends, what - ev - er sky  a - bove

     C#7  Gdim F#7 Gdim   F#7  Edim  Bm7     
I've known  a  time for spring, a   time for fall,

Em7  A7  A9 A9  Em7 A7 Gdim  DM7
But most of all, a time for love.
