Lyrics

Time has been going by
So fast
So that I can foresee
The day we'll say goodbye
We've been having fun
All these yesteryears
But time keeps going by
Time keeps going by
So fast

All the things we've been waiting for
Have already passed and gone
We've been loving with love
And love comes from above
But time keeps moving on

Tommy

Time has been going by
So fast
That all the things we've waited for
Have now already passed and gone
We've been having fun
All these yesteryears
But time keeps moving on
We've been loving with love
And love comes from above
But time keeps moving on

Passing by
Keeps moving so fast

Lyrics

[Thank you thank you
You getting bored yet?
We're not tired, one more?]

[People are getting so out of hand]
[[He is responding to drunks yelling requests, people laugh]]

I'm fussy about time
And as most things
For time and atmosphere suffer
When the air conditioning's on

If I was going to get upset I'd get upset about
Time
Because time seems to be moving so fast
We've only spent ten years
Together with the
How much more have we got up with time going so faster
We've already had lots of fun together
But it seems to have gone by in a month

And time has been going by so fast

Time has been going by so fast
So that I can foresee
The day we'll have to say goodbye
We've been having fun
All these yesteryears
But time keeps going by
Time has been going by
So fast

Things that seem far away
Have already come and gone
We've been loving with love
And love comes to us from above
But time keeps moving on

Time has been going by
For us so fast
So many things we've waited for
Have now already come and gone
We've been having fun
All these yesteryears
But time keeps moving on
Passed by
So fast

We've been having fun
All these yesteryears
But time keeps moving on
Passing by
So fast

We've been loving with love
And love comes to us from above
But time keeps moving on

Well I don't have time to say goodbye
Sometimes your dreams are my dreams
Sometimes it's walking out the door
Doing a little tour
I have a hard time taking the first step to go
Because I want to be
Sometimes her dreams are the same as my dreams
And sometimes her life feels the same as my life
Someday we'll have a hard time when we have to say

We've been loving with love
And love comes to us from above
But time keeps moving on

All right
Passing by
So fast
