Billy Walker was the first to record this song, despite its being originally written by Willy Nelson for Patsy Cline. The song has since become a staple at Nelson’s concerts and a classic standard, interpreted by such various luminaries as Elvis Presley, Tom Jones, Al Green, George Jones, Tina Turn...
Well, hello there
My, it's been a long, long time
How am I doin'?
Oh, I guess I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now
And it seems that
It was only yesterday
Ain't it funny how time slips away
How's your new love?
I hope that he's doin' 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 like just the other day
Ain't it funny how time slips away
Gotta go now
Guess I'll see you around
Don't know when though
Never know when I'll be back in town
But I remember what I told you
That in time you're gonna pay
And it's surprisin' how time slips away
Funny How Time Slips Away was written by Willie Nelson.
Funny How Time Slips Away was produced by Aubrey Mayhew.
