You can drive your money to a big tall bank
Flaunt your colors and pull your rank
But sooner or later, it's an empty tank
That brings you round to find
Baby, it's all about time
Ain't it just all about time

People thinking that the clock don't see
When they waste their time so casually
But when it all comes down to a memory
That's when you'll realize
Baby, it's all about time
Ain't it just all about time

You don't know when your number's ever coming up
Remember when we were falling in the summer fields
Life goes on and you can't just leave it up to luck
Better keep an open eye 'cause baby, it's all about time

You and me, seems we never change
Look out the window and watch the children play
They grow up and then they move away
And so it goes down the line
Baby, it's all about time
Oh ain't it just all about time
Ain't it just all about time

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
