Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, hello there

My, it's been a long, long time

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?

[Verse 2]

How's your new love?

I hope that he's doing fine

I heard you told him

That you'd love him 'til the end of time

Now that's the same thing that you told me

Seems like just the other day

Gee, ain't it funny

How time slips away?

[Verse 3]

I 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

In time, you're gonna pay

And it's surprising how time slips away
