Willie Nelson - Funny How Time Slips Away Lyrics
Well, hello there
My, it's been a long, long time
How am I doing?
Oh, I guess that I'm doing fine
It's been so long now
Gee, ain't it funny, how time slips away
How's your new love?
I hope that he's doing 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 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...

Wonderful song!!!
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎼🎼🎸🎸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A true american taurus at work!!!
Love the song!!!
"Gee Ain't it funny, how time slips away!"
Awesome!
24ct....
Just love Willie, great singer and guitarist. Superb entertainer. Superb human being. Brilliant.
Who is the man they show at 1:16 in the white jacket and blue shirt? I’m new to this wonderful music and don’t know all the stars.
That would be Porter Wagoner.
Just like yesterday old old ♥️
man thats good!!
Bobby Bare knows... ;)
Can watch him on trigger all day
I wonder when they sit back and watch him play and sing do they think " WOW THAT'S WILLIE !!!! " can never go wrong with a Willie song !!
every guy on that stage marvels at how his mind puts together those notes. a language of genius and beauty
Such honest music. 😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Willie is like a master painter, who uses the back-line of the song as a blank canvas. He then paints over it with lyrics spoken as poetry, and shaded in with innovative guitar licks. A maestro.
Willie leaves the audience including the seasoned pros wondering in awe about the Man...beautiful.
Rockers2Rockers who is the country star at 1:16 in the vid please
HI @ M.A. , I'm not totally sure but isn't he one of the presenters or MCs at the Grand Ol' Oprey?
Is that Jimmy Day on steel guitar?
Does anyone know what performance this is from? I would love to see the rest of it.
Edit: Found it... The Ralph Emery Show Legends, for anyone wanting to see the full show. This is the only Willie as far as I know, but there are several sweet songs/moments. Enjoy!
I love you ! Mary Virginia Ivey! The love of my life and gone 28 years now! Never changes the feel! Just the dates.
I wanna smoke when I watch this but every time I can’t look away. Hella mesmerizing
The Magic of Guitar...
The only man that can SPEAK a song like POETRY!
He just gets better with age! What a man!
Good old Willie! God bless his voice and his fingers on the guitar. I have derived so much joy listening to him for the last 40 years.
Willie is a master of many talents! No musician is or ever will be Willie Nelson.
I'm glad his fingers didn't go arthritic, considering his respectable age.
Look at this. I suspect that Mickey Gilley is jealous. hahahaha!
I’ve found many versions of this song, but this is by far the best.
what are the other versions?
I will not be disrespectful.
How come they his guitar sounds like some kind of electric guitar? 🤔
It’s a 1966 or 67 Electric-Acoustic (an acoustic that can be plugged into an amp for a more enhanced sound like this) that he named Trigger. It’s probably one of the most iconic guitars ever now.
Willy's guitar playing is technically decent but it's his ability to play what you wouldn't find in the sheet music that really sets him apart.
He's so loose I love it
MUSICAL MASTERPIECE
Straight legend. Hope I meet this dude before he passes like all the greats are now a days..
Stand in the presence of Greatness - The Awesome Willie Nelson
WILLIE IS AMAZING AND THIS IS ONE FABULOUS SONG...............
I love Willie! One of the bedt guitar players
A female artist had a hit on this Willie song in the early 1960s. I've been unable to find out who she was. She had the version that was best known in its early days. Willie performed it in an Atlanta concert, perhaps in the '70s. A local know-nothing critic said Willie should have left that song alone, not knowing Willie wrote it!
lt might be Brenda Lee
The ones I can identify are Janie Fricke over his right shoulder. Mickey Gilley over his left shoulder. Kris Kristopherson to his immediate left. Guy in the black hat is Bobby Bare. Behind Bare is Gary Morris and B.J Thomas. Porter Wagoner and I believe way off to the left that is Earl Thomas Conley. Camera doesn't quite catch everyone.
Both Joe Hinton-1960 and Jimmy Elledge-1961 had top 40 Billboard hits with this helping Willie to be recognized as one of our greatest up and coming songwriters.
Solid gold.
omg my wine is so nice tonight
go Willie
Artfully done, Willie. I totally enjoyed that. Thank you for giving me something unique yet totally understandable. Thanks for sharing your brave soul.
Is kristofferson drunk?
The Greatest Country Music artist of all time ...
One hell of a guitarist....and everything straight from the heart.
youngsters seems to learn a thing or two... ain't it funny how time gives and takes....
Flipping Allsome
Who’s the singer in the cactus suit @ 1:18
He used to be Dolly Parton's Mack Daddy ...........;-)
Aaaaahhhhh!!! Willie
Like Bill Evans and John Coltrane to name a few, there are some individuals who become one with their music and instrument and Willie Nelson playing Trigger is one of them.
Kriss sitting there like "damn".
Espetacular!!! Grandíssimo Willie Nelson. Vida longa a esse gênio da música.

Willie Nelson for president!!!!!
2020!!!!!
Hey how did that Beto endorsement work out for you Willie, I’m thankful everyday that commie wasn’t elected Senator lol. Willie how bout you continue to make good music and leave politics and Beto in the gutter where they belong.
I like that he is calm, peaceful, and how he strings his guitar with ease. Just introduced to him this year, so not extremely familiar with Willy's music, but I don't think it's bad. This kind of music sounds good for slow dancing with your spouse.
Bridgesthe generation s
I agree he is one of the most underrated artist of our time !!!!!!!!!!
So happy this was caught on camera
I agree with the poster below me, this is a beautiful song, dedicated to my late husband Stan Lipscombe

I am in total awe of this performance. God Bless, Willie!
This was 22 years ago...he's still the same.
Mickie G is having a good time, lol
Willie Nelson was an accomplished jazz guitar musician before he went hardcore doper country western.
Jesus, this is incomprehensibly great...
Willie is such an underrated guitar player. Wow!
