D A Bm G
D A Bm G
verse 1
D A
In the sweet embrace of twilight
Bm G
Just before the night time came
D A
All her children in the front yard
Bm G
There was laughter on the breeze
D A
Then a call came from her father
Bm G
In his house halfway 'cross town
D A
He said "Love, I hate to tell you,
G D D
But your mother, she's gone now."
[Refrão]
A Bm D G
And time, moving quickly before our eyes
A Bm D G
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
D A Bm G
verse 2
D A
So she tries to tell her husband
Bm G
But she cannnot make a sound
D A
And he hears through all the silence
Bm G
So before she hits the ground
D A
He says "Baby, are you with me?"
Bm G
And she opens up her eyes
D A
And she says "I lost my mother,"
G D
And a piece of her heart dies
[Refrão]
A Bm D G
And time, moving quickly before our eyes
A Bm D G
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
A Bm D G
And time, moving quickly before our eyes
A Bm D G
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
Bm D G G
I am trapped and wondering why ...

G
verse 3
D A
Now it's late and she is restless
Bm G
All her girls are tucked in bed
D A
She is searching for a meaning
Bm G
When all words feel meaningless
D A
And the hardest part of losing
Bm G
Is the memory of the win
D A
And the hardest part of letting go
G D
Is when you know you never can
D A
Yeah, the hardest part of letting go
G D D
Is when you know you never can
[Refrão]
A Bm D G
And time, moving quickly before our eyes
A Bm D G
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
A Bm D G
And time, moving quickly before our eyes
A Bm D G
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
Bm D G
I am trapped and wondering why ...
Bm D G G
Moving quickly before our eyes
