Funny How Time Slips Away

Jimmy Elledge (January 8, 1943 – June 10, 2012) was an American country musician. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Elledge sent a demo tape to Chet Atkins when he was 18 years old, which resulted in a recording contract with RCA Victor. His second recording for the label was "Funny How Time Slips Away", which was written by Willie Nelson and produced by Atkins. The song became a hit, peaking at No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1961, and sold over one million copies. Elledge recorded for Hickory Records later in the 1960s but never had another hit. Elledge died June 10, 2012, after complications following a stroke. more »

Well, hello there
My, it's been a long, long time
How am I doin'?
Well, I guess I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now
An' it seems like it was only yesterday
Ain't it funny how time slips away?

How's your new love?
Gee, I hope he's doin' fine
I heard ya told him
That you'd love till the end of time
Well, that's the same thing that you told me
Seems like just the other day
Gee, ain't it funny how time just slips away?

I gotta go now
Guess I'll see you 'round
I don't know when, though
I never know when I'll be back in town
Now remember whatcha told me
That "in time you're gonna pay"
And it's surprisin' how time slips away
