Mr. James sits on a park bench   Feeds the pigeons   From the crust of his bread   And I come around from time to time   To hear his stories unwind   'Cause it helps me clear my head      Mr. James says, "Ten years ago I was rich man   Well, I had a corporate office   You know that down on 17th and Main   Somewhere along the line   I guess I just lost all track of time   And tried to make myself a name"      Time goes by, just like yesterday   Used to be tomorrow   Time goes by, just like yesterday   Just like, Mr. James says      He said, "Well, take these pigeons for example   Well, they never seem to have   A single worry on their mind   Well, maybe it's because they know   That the good Lord is watching over everyone of us   'Cause you know that's the secret of this life"      Time goes by, just like yesterday   Used to be tomorrow   Time goes by, just like yesterday   Just like, Mr. James says      Don't worry about tomorrow   Tomorrow will take care of itself   Don't worry about tomorrow   Tomorrow will, take, care of itself, yeah      Yesterday I stopped by that old park bench   I fed that Mr. James pigeons   From the crust of my bread   Well, I watched the world fly by   And I thought all about my life   I remembered what Mr. James said      Time goes by, just like yesterday   Used to be tomorrow   And time goes by, just like yesterday   Just like, Mr. James says      Time goes by, just like yesterday   Used to be tomorrow   And time goes by, just like yesterday   Just like, Mr. James says      Time goes by, well, it's just like yesterday   Used to be tomorrow   Time goes by, it's just like yesterday   Just like Mr. James said
