[Verse 1]
I dreamed of her under a lavender sky
Her laughter a song I could never deny
But now I wake
And she’s here
She’s real
Her hand on my chest
A warmth I can feel
[Prechorus]
Did I miss the vows
The dance
The tears
Or did love quietly steal the years
[Chorus]
Where did the time go
Where did it hide
I blinked and now she’s my bride
A house
A yard
Kids playing free
But where is the life I forgot to see
[Verse 2]
The walls are painted with moments I’ve lost
A wedding photo
But what was the cost
First steps
First words
All scattered
Blurred
Like whispers of time I never heard
[Prechorus]
Was I asleep
Or just blind to the view
The years flew by
And I never knew
[Chorus]
Where did the time go
Where did it hide
I blinked and now she’s my bride
A house
A yard
Kids playing free
But where is the life I forgot to see
[Verse 3]
A picture frame a dusty clock
Her laughter echoes down the block
I hold her hand she feels so near
Yet time has whispered loud and clear
[Refrain]
Was it love that made me blind
Or the speed of life unkind
[Verse 4]
Where has my life gone where did it stray
Was it stolen by the night or swept by the day
I see her smile our children’s song
But where has my life gone
[guitar and drums instrumental]
[Bridge]
The vows we spoke the dreams we chased
Memories I can’t seem to place
Am I the ghost or just the clay
Molded by her every day
[Chorus]
Where did the time go
Where did it hide
I blinked and now she’s my bride
A house
A yard
Kids playing free
But where is the life I forgot to see
