Time Passes Slowly lyrics

Time passes slowly up here in the mountains

We sit beside bridges and walk beside fountains

Catch the wild fishes that float through the stream

Time 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 above

Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love

Ain't no reason to go in a wagon 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 stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right

Like the red rose of summer that blooms in the day

Time passes slowly and fades away
