Billy Walker was the first to record this song, despite its being originally written by Willy Nelson for Patsy Cline. The song has since been become a live staple of Nelson’s and classic standard, interpreted by such various luminaries as Elvis Presley, Tom Jones, Al Green, George Jones, Tina Turne...
Well hello there
It's been a long long time
How you doin, How I'm doin
I guess I'm doin' fine
It's been so long
But it seems it was only yesterday
Ain't in funny how time slips away...
How's your new love, How's your new love
I hope he's doin' fine
I heard you told him always
That you'll love him till the end of time
Now that's the same thing you told me
It seems like just the other day
Ain't it funny how time slips away...
I'm going to now
But I guess I'll get around
I don't when though, I don't know
When I'll be back in town
But remember, what I'd tell you
In time your gonna pay
Ain't it funny how time slips away...
How its surprising, how time slips away
I'm just sitting on the dock in the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ain't it funny how time slips away....
Ain’t It Funny How Time Slips Away was written by Willie Nelson.
