Time is a 1981 song by the Alan Parsons Project. The song charted at number 15 on the U.S. Billboard pop chart, thus making it one of the group's more successful singles.
The song was the first Alan Parsons Project single featuring the late Eric Woolfson as lead vocalist, and one of the group's few songs in which Alan Parsons' own voice can be heard singing (background/counterpoint vocals).
The Turn of a Friendly Card is a progressive rock album by The Alan Parsons Project, released in 1980. The album focuses on gambling, and loosely tells the tale of a middle-aged man who grows restless and takes a chance by going to a casino and betting all he has, only to lose it all. The original LP had a side-long title piece, which was broken up into five tracks (as were the CD versions except the West German pressing), with the five sub-tracks having their names listed with sub-numberings - a la an outline numbering system.. The Turn of a Friendly Card is also notable for spawning the moderate hits "Games People Play" and "Time," the latter of which was Eric Woolfson's first lead vocal appearance.

" Time " ( 1981 )

Time, flowing like a river
Time, beckoning me
Who knows when we shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing like a river to the sea

Goodbye my love, maybe for forever
Goodbye my love, the tide waits for me
Who knows when we shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea

Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore

Goodbye my friends (Goodbye my love)
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my friends (Who knows when we shall meet)
The stars wait for me
Who knows where we shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea

Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore

Forevermore
Forevermore
Forevermore

@Mrroydoncrossing I'm doing well my friend...I should be asleep ( 2am Saturday here ) but I'm heading up to Minneapolis, Minnesota today with my sweetheart to go to a baseball game and it's kind of a bittersweet trip....I had planned to visit Dallas one day but unfortunately....well you know. I'm sure he'll be at the game right along side of me. Thank you Bill.... for everything...

A follow-up to my last comment; does anyone agree that Eric Woolfson's wonderful singing voice almost resembled that of a computer synthesizer? I mean that as a compliment and nothing else.

This is an Alan Parsons Project piece that I think would have been an excellent alternative closing song for the 1997 "Titanic" movie, in place of "My Heart Will Go On." One just as appropriate as what was composed for the movie by James Horner. The vocalist on this is the one I really like out of all the people who did vocals in The Alan Parsons Project; Glasgow, Scotland-born Eric Woolfson. When is it that he died, by the way? I didn't know he had.

this song will play when I live.

Found this song while driving in Southern Illinois on some obscure radio station. Hadn't heard it since the '80's. I knew almost immediately that it was The Alan Parsons Project though.

Won't hear this song on Chicago radio.

Met a girl in 1981 in Myrtle Beach S.C. we made love in her motel, and this song was playing on the radio. Was thinking....." after tonight, where will we meet again, if ever". I left to go back home the next morning, and never saw her again, but think of her every time i hear this song. Ty Alan Parsons. A very good memory.

This song will play when I die.
