Lewis, Jerry Lee - Funny How Time Slips Away Lyrics






Well hello there oh my it's been a long long time
How am I doin' (well let me tell you somethin' honey) I guess I guess I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now and it seems oh it was only yesterday
Ain't it funny how time slips away yeah
How's your new love oh Lord I hope that he's doing fine
Mhm heard you told him yeah that you was gonna love him untill the end of time
Now that's the same thing that you told me
Oh Lord honey it seems like just the other day
Now ain't it funny how time slips away
Well I gotta go now I guess I'll see you hangin' round
I don't know when though never know when I'll be back here in town
But I want you to remember what I tell you
That in time you get out on your knees and pray and pray and pray and pray
And it's surprising how time slips away

    Just about every song Jerry Lee touched is the best version there is. He could project so much feeling with those songs - more than any other Country singer, Hank Williams, Hank Thomson, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, you name him or her. Not one of them packs the same emotional punch as Jerry Lee. Ray Charles, admittedly, did it on his occasional forays into the Country field, but he's the only other one with such an emotional punch.

  15. C.... S....

    Another winner love it jerry sing it to me jerry if only

  16. P.... C....

    I looked in the mirror and there was old man of 74. Youth slipped away; I have listened to the KILLER for the last 61 years and time has slipped away.

    P.... C....

    "When I wake up and  I don't smell flowers and see candles. I get up"....Red Skelton

    P.... C....

    @Michael Morris
    I wonder what he did if he did smell flowers and and see candles. Stay in bed all day?

    P.... C....

    or start praying?

    P.... C....

    I think that means he's died,@Trevor Morris

    P.... C....

    @Opal Allen
    Aye, I should've got that association. My only excuse is that the funerals I go to are all in the Church of Scotland, which is Presbyterian, or the crematorium, and neither of them have candles. I suppose I could throw in old age as an extra excuse! 😉

  17. m.... ....

    His heart is in it every time he performs.  Thanks for posting.

  18. m.... ....

    ONE OF  KIND-JUST GREAT!!!!

  19. P.... C....

    The Killer slows, reminisces...the video fits the lyrics...ther are some of them I remember from the late 1940s; as a boy, my parents would take me (no such thing as a Mother leaving her child with a teenage girl back then) along with them as they wentto hear these raw, unamplified voices and acoustic instruments in those small town music halls. I'm way past 70 now. Ain't it funny how time slips away.

  20. m.... ....

    LOTSA ARTISTS HAVE SUNG THIS S0NG-  WITHOUT A DOUBT, JERRY LEE'S IS THE BEST!!

  21. m.... ....

    Thank you for this great JLL song- pure talent.

  22. v.... w....

    Why is Garth Brooks pictured with country singers?

  23. B.... L....

    THE BESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST

  24. V.... ....

    Simply superb! What a performer.

  25. J.... C....

    well the killer is again on top of it all man he truly sings from his southern sweet heart

  26. S.... ....

    Curious choice of pictures

  27. R.... 1....

    Elvis was a figment of col parkers marketing, he was not the king of any music jandra. Jerry Lee lewis on the other hand was pure unmarketed and manipulated talent, hence the reason he is the real king!

    R.... 1....

    JLL always was the king.

    R.... 1....

    ++RJ 1999
    Elvis was a great singer. Unfortunately he was too pliable a character in the hands of Parker. With his earnings he could and should have insisted on doing things he wanted to the way he wanted to instead of letting Parker dictate everything. Great though her was, Elvis never realised his full potential, getting stuck in one safe groove by Col.Parker who was making his own fortune out of Elvis.

    R.... 1....

    @Trevor Morris let me hear Jerry Lee Lewis do Bridge Over Troubled Waters or American Trilogy

  28. L.... M....

    And to think he was just reading the lyrics off, according to "His Own Story" with Rick Bragg anyway.

    The talent shines through anyway

  29. J.... B....

    I agree 100%

  30. v.... m....

    The "Killer" at his best!!! Many renditions of this song; this one is one of the best!!!

    v.... m....

    THE best that I know of.

  31. R.... B....

    This is from the Country Songs for City Folks album around 1963. Jerry Kennedy is probably the lead guitar player. Ray

    R.... B....

    Whoever he is I would bet the farm he's playin' a tele!

  32. J.... G....

    Thank you for precious music!!

  33. J.... B....

    He may not be the KING,but he's so close to that throne,that it doesn't matter!
    A pure genius.
    Well done

  34. E.... ....

    Jerry Lee is the best ever.

  35. R.... ....

    why does iTunes not have this song? very frustrating!

  36. b.... m....

    Killers got em all BEAT baby!!!

  37. a.... ....

    .......must u b a stereotype

  38. J.... K....

    The Killer is the BEST EVER!!!

  39. R.... ....

    good god this rendition of this tune is amazing! i will never tire of it. RAW emotion. PURE Killer!!!!!!!

  40. W.... P....

    Possibly, james burton on lead?

    Great version of a great song.

    W.... P....

    Yep...That's J.B.

  41. j.... H....

    Jerry's good, But he's not the KING of entertainment. I'm talking 'ELVIS PRESLEY' brother. Never be another ELVIS.Only one in a life time.

  42. D.... ....

    Who is playing lead guitar?

  43. A.... ....

    Slyly arrogant and smugly triumphant. Masterful performance

  44. b.... ....

    This one was a great song w/JLL

  45. C.... A....

    Wow! this video is great!
    J.L.Lewis is amazing!
