 Well, hello there

 My, it's been a long, long time

 How'm I doin'?

 Well, I guess I'm doin' fine

 It's been so long now

 An' it seems like it was only yesterday

 Ain't it funny how time slips away?

 

 How's your new love?

 Gee, I hope he's doin' fine

 I heard ya told him

 That you'd love till the end of time

 Well, that's the same thing that you told me

 Seems like just the other day

 Gee, ain't it funny how time just slips away?

 

 I gotta go now

 Guess I'll see you 'round

 I don't know when, though

 I never know when I'll be back in town

 Now remember whatcha told me

 That "in time you're gonna pay"

 And it's surprisin' how time slips away
