Funny how time slips away - Al Green & Lyle Lovett

15 november 2014

Vandaag doen we soul, het lekkere genre dat gezien de invulling van de avond niets aan toepasselijkheid tekort komt. En 2 seconden nadenken levert dit deuntje op, jaren geleden eens gerepeteerd en direct een onuitwisbaar plekje ingenomen. Het orgeltje, de stem van Al Green, de naam van Lyle Lovett, de tekst, hier is volgens mij niets mis aan.

Al Green, Lyle Lovett

Well, hello there
my, it's been a long, long time
and how am I doin'?
oh I guess that I'm doin' fine

Well, it's been been so long now
but it seems now, that it was only yesterday
ain't it funny how time just slips away?

And how's your new love?
well, I hope that he's doin' fine
and 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
and it seems like only yesterday
ain't it funny how time just slips away?

I gotta go now
I guess I'll see you around
I don't know when though
'cause I never know when I'll be back in town

But remember what I tell you
that in time you're gonna pay
and it's suprisin', how time just slips away
