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
