[Verse 1]
Well, hello there
My, it's been a long, long time
How am I doing?
Oh, well, I guess I'm doing fine
It's been so long now, and it seems that
It was only yesterday
Mm, ain't it funny how time slips away?

[Verse 2]
How's your new love?
I hope that he's doing fine
Heard you told him, "yes," baby
That you'd love him 'til the end of time
Well, you know, that's the same thing
That you told me
Well, it seems like just the other day
Mm, ain't it funny how time slips away?

Yeah, baby

Yeah

[Verse 3]
I got to go now
Guess I'll see you hanging 'round
Don't know when though, oh
Never know when I'll be back in town
But I remember what I told you
That in time you gonna pay

[Outro]
Well ain't it surprising how time slips away?
Yeah, ain't it surprising how time slips away?

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
