Time passes slowly
Up here in the mountains
We sit beside bridges
And walked beside fountains
Catch the wild fishes
That float thru the stream
Times passes slow
When you're lost in a dream.
Once I had a sweetheart
She was fine an' good lookin'
We sat in the kitchen
While her mama was cookin'
Stared out the window
To the stars high above
Time passes slowly
When you're searchin' for love.
Ain't no reason to go
In the morning to town
Ain't no reason to go
To the fair
Ain't no reason to go up
Ain't no reason to go down
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
Time passes slowly
Up here in the daylight
We stared straight ahead
And tried so hard to stay right
Like a cloud drifting over
That covers the day
Time passes slowly
Then fades away.
