Well, hello there   Oh my, it's been a long, long time   How am I doin'?   I guess, I guess, I'm doin' fine   (Well, let me tell you somethin', honey)      It's been so long now and it seems, oh, it was only yesterday   Ain't it funny how time slips away, yeah      How's your new love? Oh Lord, I hope that he's doing fine   Mmm, heard you told him, yeah   That you was gonna love him until the end of time   Now that's the same thing that you told me      Oh Lord, honey, it seems like just the other day   Now ain't it funny how time slips away      Well, I gotta go now, I guess I'll see you hangin' 'round   I don't know when though   Never know when I'll be back here in town   But I want you to remember what I tell you      That in time you get out on your knees   And pray and pray and pray and pray   And it's surprising how time slips away
