Funny How Time Slips Away Lyrics
(Willie Nelson)
Well, hello there
My, it's been a long, long time
And how am I doing
Oh, I guess that I'm doing fine
It's been so long now, but it seems now that it was only yesterday
Gee, ain't it funny, how time slips away
And how's your new love
Well, I hope that he's doin' fine
I heard you told him, that you'd love him till the end o' time
Now, that's the same thing that you told me
And it seems like only yesterday
Gee, ain't it funny, how time just slips away
-Solo-
Well, I gotta go now (thank you)
And I guess, I'll see you around
But I don't know when, though
'Cause I 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 just slips away
Gee, ain't it funny, how times just slips away
Spoken:
Thank you, 1970 or 71, June and I went in our drive down into the country and went to a place called, ah, Smithville, Tennessee. Old Hickor... , oh no, no, not Old Hickory, what was the name of that lake there... , ah, Cedar Hill Lake, aha. Ah, at anyway, ah, spent the whole afternoon there and there it was one of those magic days, you know, when the sun was just right, the temperature was just, right, and the breeze was just right and the sea was just right, ha - ha, and ahm... , I wrote a song... , I let her drive on our way back, I wrote a song called "Flesh And Blood".
