Where Time Stands Still Lyrics

Mary Chapin Carpenter Where Time Stands Still

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 no place you can get to by yourself
Gotta love someone and they love you
Time will stop for nothin' 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 your 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
