Time Passes Slowly
Time passes slowly up here in the mountainsWe sit beside bridges and walk beside fountainsCatch the wild fishes that float through the streamTime passes slowly when you're lost in a dream
Once I had a sweetheart, she was fine and good-lookin'We sat in her kitchen while her mama was cookin'Stared out the window to the stars high aboveTime passes slowly when you're searchin' for love
Ain't no reason to go in a wagon to townAin't no reason to go to the fairAin't no reason to go up, ain't no reason to go downAin't no reason to go anywhere
Time passes slowly up here in the daylightWe stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay rightLike the red rose of summer that blooms in the dayTime passes slowly and fades away
