(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...
