Time Slips By

Well It's half past noon and I ain't moved
I'm just writing this tune
And this one's about you
And a perfect shade of grey
Has been painting my world today
And ain't it funny honey
How my Time Is Slippin By

Slippin by like the rocks in that river
That cool Montana water
How it made my body shiver
When I
When I was younger

And I never got to say goodbye to my father
But I'll see him again

Because my Time Is Slippin By

Now when I asked you to marry me
And you started to cry
I knew that right then
That I had to say goodbye
To a part of the man that I was
Inside before that day

Now we'll have Halloween on Christmas Eve
And do anything that we please
Because my Time Is Slippin By

Slippin by like that 4th of July
When the colors in the sky
Matched the shades in your eyes
And I wrote you this song
And every single word was I Love You

And I'll believe it and I'll be it
Cause I speak it and I'll sing it for you

Because our Time Is Slippin By

Now when I go to the Big House
Way on up in the sky
I'll bang on that door
And I'll scream and I'll cry
And I'll say
Let me in
I want to talk to the man in charge around here
I'll say I would have done more talking
With you when I was below
But you know
Well My Time was Slippin By

Slipping by like this California sand
That's running through my toes
And runnin right through my hands
And I hope
Well I hope you understand
I said I hope you understand
That every single time I say goodbye
It's 'cause my Time Is Slippin By

Well it's half past noon
And I still ain't moved
I'm still just writing this tune
And it's still about you
And I'm still a freight train running
On the tracks way out of control
And I need to slow down and just enjoy the view
It's true
And watch the Time Slip By
