Where Time Stands Still

Baby where's that place where time stand still
I remember like a lover can
But I forget it like a leaver will
It's no place you can get to by yourself
You've got to love someone and they love you
Time will stop for nothing else
And memory plays tricks on us
The more we cling, the less we trust
And the less we trust, the more we hurt
And as time goes on it just gets worse
So baby where's that place where time stood still
Is it under glass inside a frame
Was it over when you had yor fill
And here we are with nothing but
This emptiness inside of us
Your smile a fitting final gesture
Wish I could have loved you better
Baby where's that place where time stands still
I remember like a lover can
But I forget it like a leaver will
It's the first time that you held my hand
It's the smell and the taste and the fear and the thrill
It's everything I understand
And all the things I never will
