Songtext:
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
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
