How come twenty four hours,
Baby sometimes seem to slip into days?
Fm
Oh twenty-four hours,
                      Cm
Baby sometimes seem to slip into days
Gm                         Fm
A minute seems like a lifetime,

baby when I feel this way

     Sittin, lookin at the clock,
A# Cm
     time moves so slow
A# Cm
     I've been watchin for the hands to move

     Until I just can't look no more

     How come twenty four hours,
D# Fm               A# Cm
     Baby sometimes seems to slip into days?
   Gm                              Fm A#
     A minute seems like a lifetime,
     Baby when I feel this way.

To sing a song for you
I recall you used to say
"Oh baby this one's for we two"
Which in the end is you anyway

Chorus:
     How come twenty four hours
     Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days?
     A minute seems like a lifetime
     Oh, baby, when I feel this way

There was a time that I stood tall
In the eyes of other men
But by my own choice I left you woman
And now I can't get back again

Chorus:
     How come twenty-four hours
     Sometimes seem to slip into days?
     Well, well, well a minute seems
     like a lifetime
     Baby, when I feel this way
     A minute seems like a lifetime
     Oh, baby, when I feel this way
     I feel this way
