[Verse 1]
F D# A# Gm
Time passes slowly up here in the mountains
F D# A# Gm
We sit beside bridges and walk beside fountains

Catch the wild fishes that float through the stream
F D# A# Gm
Time passes slow when you're lost in a dream
[Chorus]

La la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
F D# A# Gm
La la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
[Verse 2]
F D# A# Gm
Once I had a sweetheart, she was fine and good-lookin'

Stared out the window to the stars high above
F D# A# Gm
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love
[Chorus]

Ain't no reason to go in a morning to town

Ain't no reason to go to the fair

Ain't no reason to go anywhere

Like a cloud drifting over that covers the day
