Lyrics:

I'm cutting off the telephone
You unplug the TV
At the rate life's passing us by
We can't take the time to breathe
I know you can't turn time around
But maybe there's a way to slow it down

Sipping iced tea from a backporch swing
Laying by a river as the world runs by
Making sweet love while the mockingbird sings
We can try, putting the brakes on time

When did we last have a heart to heart talk?
Over a glass of wine
Or stop and watch the grass grow
Or smell a honeysuckle vine
We can't put the sand back in the hourglass
But we can hold each other, baby
And make this weekend last


We can slow it down, baby
And put the brakes on time
We can slow it down, baby
And put the brakes on time, yeah
