This slow blues epic is the last song on Zeppelin’s 1976 album ‘Presence’. It follows the same chord progression as the ‘70 Zeppelin song “Since I’ve Been Loving You.” According to Jimmy Page, he wanted to do the same thing to see how much different of a band Led Zeppelin from the time of the origin...
[Chorus]
How come twenty-four hours
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days?
Oh, twenty-four hours
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days, yeah?
When a minute seems like a lifetime
Oh, baby, when I feel this way
[Verse 1]
Sitting, looking at the clock
Oh, time moves so slow
I've been watchin' for the hands to move
Until I just can't look no more
[Chorus]
How come twenty-four hours
Baby, sometimes seems to slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime
Baby, when I feel this way
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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, 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
