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
