Lyrics

Linda Ronstadt:

Well, hello there.

My, it's been a long, long time.

How'm I doin'?

Well, I guess that I'm doin' fine.

Homer Simpson:

It's been so long now

And it seems

That it was only yesterday.

Homer Simpson and Linda Ronstadt:

Ain't it funny

How time slips away?

Homer Simpson:

How's your new love?

I hope that he's doin' fine.

I heard you told him

That you'd love him till the end of time.

Linda Ronstadt:

Now that's the same thing

That you told me.

Seems like just the other day.

Homer Simpson and Linda Ronstadt:

Ain't it funny

How time slips away?

(piano and steel guitar solos)

Linda Ronstadt:

I've got to go now.

Homer Simpson:

I guess I'll see you around.

Don't know when, though.

Linda Ronstadt:

Never know when I'll be back in town.

But remember

What I do

That in time, you're gonna pay.

Homer Simpson and Linda Ronstadt:

It's surprisin'

How time slips away.

Ain't it funny

How time slips away?
