George Jones - Funny How Time Slips Away Lyrics






Well hello there my it's been a long long time
How am I doin' oh I guess that I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now but it seems now it was only yesterday
Gee ain't it funny how time slips away
How's your new love I hope that he's doin' fine
I heard you told him that you'd love him till 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

George Jones Funny How Time Slips Away Comments
  1. W.... M....

    Ladies and gentlemen, the great George Jones. Johnny Cash when asked who his favorite singer was, replied. "You mean apart from George Jones".

  2. A.... A....

    What has happened to today's country music .??.... It sounds like it was written by a robot with no Melody and repetitive lyrics.... after I listen to a new song I couldn't tell you the melody or lyrics to save my life... it just doesn't imprint

  3. C.... H....

    I'm the biggest Elvis Presley fan but I can't lie George sings this song better then both Elvis and willie 💯

  4. r.... ....

    The older he gets, the better he becomes...

  5. J.... P....

    I don't think George ever did a bad song! I met him years ago when he lived here in Lakeland and he was a bit obnoxious but his talent was the best!

    J.... P....

    Maybe he was having a bad day he was always nice when I met him at least 15 times

  6. m.... c....

    shame on Nashville. This is country music. Cant stand what is put out today

  7. A.... F....

    He always makes me smile. He is one gorgeous guy, forever young. He's my sweetheart. Luv ya george. X

  8. B.... L....

    never go wrong on George Jones. Wow, The greatest.

  9. R.... S....

    Anyone has anyone seen the tribute to George Jones by Kevin Collins if you have it you should watch it it is awesome

  10. M.... ....

    As smooth as good bourbon and a Partagas Havana. Country as it should be.

  11. z.... ....

    A legend in everyone's mind.

  12. B.... Z....

    love this version

  13. c.... g....

    George Jones is a legend an irreplaceable artist like many others that are gone he will always be the king of country music

  14. T.... M....

    Different perceptions. I'm not much of a Country an although like a little. There are lots of nice country singers but although the sing well, they seldom convey a lot of emotion to me. This is a nicely sung, but it's still just a sentimental song to me. I do feel that there is some emotion being expressed by George . It's Jerry Lee who manages to sound as if he's really living the experience described in the lyrics, as he does in all his classic Country hits, far more so than any other Country singer apart from Ray Charles

  15. L.... A....

    No one fill George Jones shoes.The best King of Country ever.🎤🎸Thanks for this video.REAL GREAT🍃🌹💕🍃🌹💕🍃🌹💕🍃

  16. R.... ....

    Ain't it funny how George took this song to a whole new level.

  17. b.... s....

    there will never be another George Jones ,simply heartfelt.

  18. J.... C....

    There is no fuckin better than George jones

  19. W.... A....

    George and Nancy never had any children together, so who are those children in the video?

    W.... A....

    George had a daughter....Tamala Georgette maybe her kids...

  20. b.... s....

    thanks a million george they really hit home

  21. M.... M....

    I don't know how he was when he recorded this version, but I adore it...love, love, LOVE his voice and style.

  22. M.... D....

    What a fantastic voice. When he does a song, it's like it always belonged to him.

  23. T.... F....

    I had the opportunity to see him in concert 2 times. The first time was nowhere near as great as the 2nd time. His music is unique. His music had my partner in tears. Awesome music. There's not another like him.

  24. A.... C....

    George does this so beautifully, it hurts.
    ever heard such perfect pitch?

  25. M.... B....

    George Jones, the best God Damn country singer!

  26. T.... W....

    coming up on 4 years we lost a country legend. Boy does time slip away.

  27. S.... P....

    i remember when george jones was married to tammy wynette.. they had a few daughters together and he loved o drink and trash the house but when they split up he got custody of the girls aint it funny and times slips away barbie ceriani

    S.... P....

    George Jones did not get custody of Tammy Wynette's three daughters he didn't want it only had one daughter Georgette Jones I don't think he got custody of her either but he adopted Tammy Wynette's three girls by previous marriages Tammy and George both what great singers entertainers and they loved each other to the end bar none

  28. s.... b....

    It really just doesn't get better than George Jones. This man could really sing from the heart.

  29. A.... W....

    George sang this song better than anyone else

  30. J.... ....

    So many to listen to and, Wanda Jackson (listen). I have chosen George to share. I think he truly misses her like I have.

  31. W.... M....

    ain't it funny how George did it better than elvis and effortlessly

  32. S.... T....

    who is playing pedal steel here
    my guess its paul franklin?

  33. a.... ....

    For my Patsy...love and miss you.xxxxx

  34. j.... w....

    Heart &n Soul right here, nothing better!

  35. B.... S....

    Needs more passion

    B.... S....

    Son if you think George Jones needs more passion in his music, you ain't listening? There are no artist today that puts this much passion in his music. I was a sad day when he died

    B.... S....

    I think he was kidding

    B.... S....

    @S Regan I hope he was kidding

  36. D.... H....

    Hank Thompson

  37. J.... S....

    Best of the best.

  38. R.... ....

    Better Call Saul!

  39. J.... B....

    So sorry to read about your losses ladies, Nancy too . R.I.P.George

  41. R.... E....

    Brilliant. George is the Godfather of Country Soul.

  42. r.... ....

    It doesn't matter who wrote it or recorded it George does it better every time.

    r.... ....

    I’ll agree to disagree

    r.... ....

    One of the best versions by Joe Tex. Thats the one Al Green tried to emulate.

    r.... ....

    checkout Elvis' live performance, found on: Elvis Presley - Today (Legacy Edition) Disc 2, track 19

    r.... ....

    @MidwinterEclipse Al Green's version is very nice too!

    r.... ....

    sorry, but no: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZaZqx9v3dU

  43. J.... H....

    Ain't it suprising how nashvillle gave it away,,,,,,

    J.... H....

    ozores

  44. k.... ....

    please does anyone know who is playin piano here?

    k.... ....

    +kajunmoon I was wondering myself, so I asked Brittany Allyn who sang with George for many years. She said it was difficult to tell but thought it's Doug Sisemore. She also added that it's likely we are listening to the original recording here and that means it's Pig Robbins on piano. The video was shot later and played to tracks. (lip syncing)

    k.... ....

    Hargus "Pig" Robbins, Country Hall of Fame session musician....I've always loved this version and liked most of the others on this timeless WN song.

  45. B.... P....

    This is the best version of this song on You Tube. Class arrangement and brilliant instrumentalists.

    B.... P....

    +Bandsman Pat willie's 1997 live version is easily the best

    B.... P....

    +Joseph Pulju I feel there is much more clarity in George's musical arrangement , especially between the piano and steel guitar entries and even though George's voice is on the wane here I feel it is more musical than Willie's. But that said Willie's interpretation is "AWESOME".

  46. P.... D....

    Such a great song, time sure is slipping away ;-(

  47. J.... S....

    for most the wide gate !

  48. R.... A....

    Never like this song until George jones done it
    Willie wrote it didn't like anyone version at all.
    Jones got Grammy award nominations for it.

  49. b.... ....
