Iʼm sitting here alone again Waiting for you to come see me now As time passes by With the blink of an eye I know Iʼll get to see you somehow You are sitting home another night Waiting for someone to hold you tight Time passes by So quick indeed And this time, youʼre slipping away from me Itʼs been a long, cold, hard winter It was a long, drawn-out spring You took no wrong when you saw nothing in me But our love was something nice to see
We were sitting alone on the beach Letting all the sand between our feet Why, as time passes by Blink of an eye Amazing how things ainʼt what they used to be Ainʼt what they used to be It was the shortest summer The fall was so abrupt Thought youʼd be happy with the way things were But I guess it wasnʼt enough
I am outside sitting, writing this song You could have guessed that all along Time passed me by So quick indeed And youʼre the only thing that Iʼm missing I wrote this song all last night Tried to make the lyrics fit just right But Iʼm still having trouble with this very last part But I know itʼll come from my heart But I know itʼll come from my heart
