Elvis Presley - Funny How Time Slips Away

Recorded: 1970/06/07, first released on "Elvis Country"
(Words & Music: Donny Mauldin, re-written by Willie Nelson)

Lyrics:
Well hello there,
my it's been a long long time
How am I doin',
oh well I guess I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now and it seems that
It was only yesterday
Mmm, ain't it funny how time slips away

How's your new love,
I hope that he's doin' fine
Heard you told him, yes baby
That you'd love him till the end of time
Well you know, that's the same thing
that you told me
Well it seems like just the other day
Mmm, ain't it funny how time slips away

Gotta go now,
guess I'll see you hanging round
Don't know when though, oh
Never know when I'll be back in town
But I remember what I told you
That in time your gonna pay

Well ain't it surprisin' how time slips away
Yeah, ain't it surprisin' how time slips away
...

@elvis4ever1935 Only one advice: ignore the ignorants out there making fun of you or your personal tastes in music: music is very personal and if Elvis` music touches your soul, that is all that matters. Me, Elvis is waiting in heaven for me and all of his fans....

As I listen to this song, I realize how fitting it its. I was a very young girl when Elvis passed away, but had always loved him (he was my very first "crush" :0) now I'm a grown woman and Elvis has been gone for many many years - hearing this song takes me immediately back to my childhood. Thank you so much for posting, beautiful job.

@docdoowop - AMEN! I couldn't agree w/you more!!

WOW...Elvis does an amazing cover of this....well, why am I amazed? HE IS THE KING---I AM OVERJOYED TO LIVE IN INDY--SITE OF HIS LAST CONCERT--they tore down Market Square Arena about the time of 9/11 but there is a small memorial to Elvis...kind of makes me sad that a "newer, fancier basketball and event stadium" forced it down...such is life...I know Elvis would have rolled with the punches--HE WAS AWESOME

@elvis4ever1935 No matter how old you are if you know what real music is then you know that Elvis is the King. His songs never get old. I'm 22 but I prefer Elvis' musics before everything else especially nowadays' crap.

@Glat64 i can relate to exactly how you feel when I get so into the song and video I forget everything around me and start feeling pain and regret for not having him here to the point I get teary eye and is so weird i am not an an emotional person.
