Where Did The Time Go

[Verse 1]
Where did the time go
Slipped past my coffee cup
Sunrise sits softer now
I actually look up
Steam on the window
Dust on the windowpane
You say my name in the kitchen
It lands a different way
[Chorus]
Where did the time go
Was it hiding in the small things
Sunrise more precious
Sunsets more beautiful
In the warmth of the sun
In the wet of the rain
In the laughter of kids at play
In these whispers of your name (ohhh)
[Verse 2]
Sidewalk chalk on the driveway
Tiny shoes by the door
Holding hands on long walks
We don’t rush like before
Your shoulder brushes my shoulder
You lean in
Say it slow
Heartfelt
Quiet sentences
I wish I’d heard years ago
[Chorus]
Where did the time go
Was it hiding in the small things
Sunrise more precious
Sunsets more beautiful
In the warmth of the sun
In the wet of the rain
In the laughter of kids at play
In these whispers when you stay
[Bridge]
Maybe it was always this golden
Maybe I just walked too fast
Now every breath
Every moment
Feels like it could be the last (hey)
[Chorus]
Where did the time go
I can feel it in the small things
Sunrise more precious
Sunsets more beautiful
In the warmth of your hand
In the soft
Steady rain
In the laughter we keep safe
In these whispers of your name

Gentle indie-folk ballad with soft acoustic guitar, light shaker, and warm upright bass. Male vocals sit close and intimate; subtle piano blooms in the chorus. Energy swells slightly into each hook, then falls back into a hush with airy background hums on the final lines., beautiful, heartfelt
