Funny How Time Slipps Away Songtext
von Al Green

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
