Funny How Time Slips Away

(Willie Nelson)



Well, hello there, my it's been a long, long, long, time

How am I doin'? oh. I guess I'm doing fine

It's been so long now and it seems that it was only yesterday

Gee, ain't it funny how time slips away.



How's your new love, I hope that he's doing fine

Heard you told him that you'd love him till the end of time

Now that's the same thing that you told me, seems just like the other day

Gee ain't it funny how time slips away.



Gotta go now, I guess I'll see you around

Don't know when though, never know when I'll be back in town

But remember what I tell you, that in time you're gonna pay

And it's surprising how time slips away.



Yes, my dear you'd better remember what I tell you

That in time, in time you're gonna pay

And it's surprising how time slips away...
