My, How the Time Flies

Steve Wariner · I Am Ready [Arista] [1991]

(Steve Wariner/Kent Robbins)



My, my how the time don't fly when you're stuck in a love

As your baby says bye-bye it's time to cry

'Cause healing hands don't help me when they go around so slow

One night takes forever to go by my how the time don't fly.



Nothing's right about this night without you here to hold me

This heartache is taking it's own sweet time

What did I do, what did I say, what do I do now

While I'm waiting for these teardrops to subside.



My, my how the time don't fly when you're stuck in a love

As your baby says bye-bye it's time to cry

'Cause healing hands don't help me when they go around so slow

One night takes forever to go by my how the time don't fly.



My, my how the time don't fly when you're stuck in a love

As your baby says bye-bye it's time to cry

'Cause healing hands don't help me when they go around so slow

One night takes forever to go by my how the time don't fly.



How the time don't fly

My how the time don't fly

My, my how the time don't fly

How the time don't fly.



My, my how the time don't fly

My how the time don't fly...
