Funny How Time Slips Away
Time's Silent Dance: Reflections on Love's Changing Tides
Lyrics
Well, hello there
Expression of greeting or acknowledgment
My it's been a long, long time
Signifies a significant period since the last encounter
How am I doin'?
Inquiring about the other person's well-being
Oh, I guess that I'm doin' fine
Indicating personal welfare as satisfactory
It's been so long now but it seems now
Despite the duration, it feels recent
That it was only yesterday
Reflecting on the past as if it just occurred
Gee, ain't it funny how time slips away
Commenting on the strange passage of time
How's your new love
Asking about the status of the other person's new romantic interest
I hope that he's doin' fine
Wishing well for the new partner
I heard you told him
Referring to information heard about expressing eternal love
That you'd love him 'til the end of time
Recollection of similar words spoken by the person
Now that's the same thing that you told me
Not long ago, the same commitment was made to the singer
Seems like just the other day
Highlighting the recentness of the past promise
Gee, ain't funny how time slips away
Observation on the peculiarity of time's passage
I gotta go now
Announcing departure from the conversation or situation
I guess I'll see you around
Suggesting a potential future encounter
Don't never know, never know
Emphasizing the uncertainty of return
When I'll be back in town
Unknown duration until next visit
But remember what I tell you
Issuing a warning or prediction about consequences
In time, you're gonna pay
Implying eventual accountability for actions
And it's surprising how time slips away
Noting the surprising nature of time's passing
