Funny (How Time Slips Away) - Georgie Fame

Well, well, well

Hello there

My, it’s been a long long time

You ask me, how am I doing now

You really wanna know?

Well I guess I’m doing fine

It’s been so long now

But it seems like it was only yesterday

Well ain’t it funny, so funny

How time can just slip right all away

I’d like to ask you a question too

You know, I heard you got a new love

But I wonder, can you truthfully say he’s doing fine

You know I heard something the other day, girl

When a friend of mine told me

That you were gonna love him right until the end of time

Now you know that I know that you must have been lying

'Cause that’s the very same thing

That you told me, yeah

You know, it seems like

Just the other day

Well ain’t it funny, so funny

How time can just slip right all away

I hate to leave you baby

But I think I’d better split now, now

Well, I guess I’ll see you somewhere around

You’d be lucky too, but here’s one thing you just can’t tell

You don’t know when though, no

Well girl, you can’t tell when I’ll be back in town

So hold on to all your money

And please remember

Everything I told you, babe

I believe in time

And I know if you live you’re gonna pay

Then you’ll find it funny, so funny

How time can slip right all away

And you don’t even know it
