[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
