Classic Country Lyrics: "Funny How Time Slips Away" von Wilie Nelson

Kaum einer klingt so eigentümlich wie Willie
Nelson, und so war es kein Wunder, dass er
zunächst als Songwriter für andere Künstler
seine Brötchen verdiente, bevor das Publikum
seine nasale Stimme selber zu lieben begann.
"Funny How Time Slips Away" ist einer jener
Klassiker, die schon Hits waren, bevor Willie
selber zum Hitsänger wurde, u.a. waren Billy
Walker und Johnny Bush damit in den Charts
vertreten.

Well, hello there, my it's been a long, long time
How am I doin', oh, I guess that I'm doin' 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 doin' fine
I heard you told him that you'd love him till the 
end of time
Now that's the same thing that you told me 
it seems like just the other day
Gee, 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 remember what I tell you that in time you're 
gonna pay
And it's surprising how time slips away...
