[Verse
C A# F Dm
Time passes slowly up here in the mountains
C A# F Dm
We sit beside bridges and walk beside fountains
Am A# Am A#
Catch the wild fishes that float through the stream
C A# F Dm
Time passes slow when you're lost in a dream

VERSE
C A# F Dm
Once I had a sweetheart, she was fine and good-lookin'
C A# F Dm
We sat in her kitchen while her mama was cookin'
Am A# Am A#
Staring out the window to the stars high above
C A# F Dm
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love

VERSE
C A# F Dm
Time passes slowly up here in the daylight
C A# F Dm
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right

Like the red rose of summer that blooms in the day

Time passes slowly then fades away
