Time Will Pass You By
Passing seasons all but fade away
Into misty clouds of autumn grey
As I sit here, looking at the street
Little figures, quickly moving feet
I'm just a pebble on the beach
And I sit and wonder why
Little people running around
Never knowing why, oh
Life is just a precious minute, baby
Open up your eyes and see it, baby
Give yourself a better chance
Because time will pass you right on by
Time, time is gonna pass you by so quickly
And it'll rush for no man
This big old world is spinning like a top
Come and help me while we make it stop
All you have to do is live for now
Come along with me, and I'll show you how
Take my hand, I'll show you how to live
Why wait until tomorrow?
Take my hand, and I'll lead the way to a brighter day, oh
Life is just a precious minute, baby
Open up your eyes and see it, baby
Give yourself a better chance
Because time will pass you right on by
(Life is just a precious minute, baby)
(Life is just a precious minute, baby)
(Open up your eyes and see it, baby)
(Open up your eyes and see it, baby)
No, no, oh, baby
Life is just a precious minute, baby
Open up your eyes and see it, baby
Give yourself a better chance
Because time will pass you right on by
Time is running out, my darling
Don't make me be a pebble on a lonely beach
Into the clouds of misty grey
Into misty clouds of autumn grey
As I sit here, looking at the street
Little figures, quickly moving feet
I'm just a pebble on the beach
And I sit and wonder why
Little people running around
Never knowing why, oh
Life is just a precious minute, baby
Open up your eyes and see it, baby
Give yourself a better chance
Because time will pass you right on by
Time, time is gonna pass you by so quickly
And it'll rush for no man
This big old world is spinning like a top
Come and help me while we make it stop
All you have to do is live for now
Come along with me, and I'll show you how
Take my hand, I'll show you how to live
Why wait until tomorrow?
Take my hand, and I'll lead the way to a brighter day, oh
Life is just a precious minute, baby
Open up your eyes and see it, baby
Give yourself a better chance
Because time will pass you right on by
(Life is just a precious minute, baby)
(Life is just a precious minute, baby)
(Open up your eyes and see it, baby)
(Open up your eyes and see it, baby)
No, no, oh, baby
Life is just a precious minute, baby
Open up your eyes and see it, baby
Give yourself a better chance
Because time will pass you right on by
Time is running out, my darling
Don't make me be a pebble on a lonely beach
Into the clouds of misty grey
