C Dm

1. Amid steaming coffee, soft music and a rocking chair,

G C

I catch a glimpse of how good and gentle life can be.

Dm

It’s a lazy afternoon, back porch friends help pass the hours,

G C

The cinnamon days of fall are now upon us.

Dm

Chorus And it’s the quiet times, it’s the quiet times,

G C

When my mind can wander far away;

Dm

Oh the quiet times, it’s the quiet times,

G C

That seem to make my troubles go away.

C Dm

2. By the fireside with my lady on a snowy night,

We reflect on our lives and all our future plans.

Dm

A big gray cat has settled in for a winter’s nap,

G C

And I sit back and let the quiet times come my way.

Chorus
