Time passes slowly
Up here in the mountains
We sat beside bridges
And walked beside fountains

Catch the wild fishes
That float through the stream
Times 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'

Starin' 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 stared straight ahead
An' tried so hard to stay right

Like a red rose of summer
That blooms in the day
Time passes slowly
Then fades away
