Funny How Time Slips Away

Written by Willie Nelson, ‘Funny’ delivers such a powerful message in the most simpliest form — as only Willie can deliver.

Originally recorded by Billie Walker in 1961, notable covers include Elvis Presley, Al Green, Dave Matthews and Dr. John.

Well, hello there
My, it's been a long, long time
How am I doing?
Oh, I guess that I'm doing fine

It's been so long now
But it seems now, that it was only yesterday
Gee, ain't it funny, how time slips away

How's your new love?
I hope that he's doing fine?

I heard you told him
That you'd love him 'til the end of time

Now, that's the same thing that you told me
Seems like just the other day
Gee, ain't it funny, how time slips away

I gotta go now
I guess I'll see you around

Don't know when though
Never know, when I'll be back in town

But remember, what I tell you
In time you're gonna pay
And it's surprising, how time slips away
