1. Well, hello there,    my, it's been a long, long time. 

                                     G                                                D 

    How am I doing?     Oh, I guess that I'm doing fine. 

                                                            D7            G                                         E 

    It`s been so long now, and it seems now     that it was only yesterday. 

                             A                A7                 D  - G - D 

    Gee, ain't it funny, how time slips away. 

  

                            D           G                                          D 

2. How's your new love,     I hope that he's doing fine. 

                                                               G                                    D 

    I heard you told him, that you`d love him 'til the end of time. 

                                                                      D7         

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

G                                                  E 

   it seems like just the other day. 

                            A                A7                  D  - G - D 

    Gee, ain't it funny, how time slips away. 

  

                 D          G                                      D 

3. Gotta go now,     I guess I'll see you around, 

                                                                    G                                         D 

    I don't know when, though, never know when I'll be back in town. 

                                               D7                     G                               E 

    But remember, what I tell you, that in time you're gonna pay. 

                             A                 A7                 D  - G - D 

    And it's surprising, how time slips away.
