Funny How Time Slips Away

Al Green

5

Time, time, time, time

Slips away, yeah

Well, hello there

My, it′s been a long time

How am I doing?

Well, I guess I'm doing fine

It′s been so long, and it seems like it was only yesterday

Ain't it funny, funny, funny how time slips away

How's your new love?

I hope he′s doing fine, oh yeah

I heard you told him, told him

Oh you gonna love him ′till the end of time

What if I remember, yeah, that's the same thing, same thing

That you told me, it was only yesterday

Ain′t it funny, funny, funny how time just slips away

And sometimes I say, "I gotta go now"

I guess I'll see you somewhere around, somewhere around

A ha, but you, oh you don′t know, you don't know

You don′t know, you can't know when I'll be back in town

(Maybe tomorrow) I want you to please remember what I told you

That in time you′re gonna pay

I think it′s funny, funny, funny how time just slips away

But all I want you to do is just, just remember

Just remember what I told you

In time, in time you're gonna pay

Ain′t it funny, funny, funny how time just slips away

One thing I want you to do is just remember

Remember what I told you, yeah

In time, in time, yeah, yeah

Ain't it funny, funny, funny how time just slips away

Oooh baby, oh baby, yeah, yeah

It′s the same thing, same thing that you told me

It seems like just the other day

Oh it's funny, funny, funny how time just slips away

It′s funny how time

It's one thing about the time that...

It's funny, lady, how time slips away

And it′s funny, funny, funny how time slips away
