Funny How Time Slips Away Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, hello there
My, it's been a long, long time
How am I doing?
Oh, well, I guess I'm doing fine
It's been so long now, and it seems that
It was only yesterday
Mm, ain't it funny how time slips away?

[Verse 2]
How's your new love?
I hope that he's doing fine
Heard you told him, "yes," baby
That you'd love him 'til the end of time
Well, you know, that's the same thing
That you told me
Well, it seems like just the other day
Mm, ain't it funny how time slips away?

Yeah, baby

Yeah

[Verse 3]
I got to go now
Guess I'll see you hanging 'round
Don't know when though, oh
Never know when I'll be back in town
But I remember what I told you
That in time you gonna pay
[Outro]
Well ain't it surprising how time slips away?
Yeah, ain't it surprising how time slips away?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
