Where Time Stands Still - Mary Chapin Carpenter

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

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

It is under glass inside a frame

Was it over when you had your fill

And here we are with nothing but

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 had

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
