I count the hours, you count the days together,
Dm C G Am Am (strum)
we count the minutes in this passion play.
C/E F Am G
Walk dusty miles, and I ride that train,
Dm C G F (strum)
on a first class ticket, just to be with you again.
(Chorus)
D G Am C
Picking up tired feet, back from a far horizon,
D G Am C
Cleaned up and brushed down, dressed to look the part.
D G Am C
Fresh from God's garden, I bring a gift of roses
D Am D C
to stand in sweet spring water and press them to your heart.
