where has the time gone

why did it take so long

why didn't i meet you

back when i needed to



ohh oh

and time plays her tricks on me

she's holding my hand while she's shoving me free

these questions i ask of you

seeming so old and feeling so new



oh look what i've found such a sweet sound

who would've thought i almost forgot

love's peace of mind in a world

that keeps on spinning round

thank god you took the time to help me find

standing ground



ohh oh oh

standing ground



i was stuck between here and there

i kept throwing my hands up in the air

i didn't care

til you put your love in my life

you're a penny in the water

sparkling in the light



ohh oh oh



and look how the time's flown

smack dab in the middle of a love that's grown

it feels just like yesterday i'm

forgetting what to do forgetting what to say



chorus

oh look what i've found such a sweet sound

who would've thought i almost forgot

love's peace of mind in a world

that keeps on spinning round

thank god you took the time to help me find

standing ground



ohh oh oh



you woke me up to say

an earthquake was shaking the bed we were on

mmm you held me close i could feel your heart

beating in the dark like a big bass drum

we were laughing through it all

til all the fear was gone



ohh oh

oh look what i've found such a sweet sound

who would've thought i almost forgot

love's peace of mind in a world

that keeps on spinning round

thank god you took the time to help me find

standing ground



such a sweet sound

who would've thought i almost forgot

love's peace of mind in a world

that keeps on spinning round

thank god you took the time to help me find

standing ground



ohh oh oh

standing ground
