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.' 

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
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 ...
Bridge D A Bm G (x4) 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
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
D A Bm G x2 D
