[Intro]
(Don't let it pass you, baby)
(Don't let it pass you, baby)
(Don't let it pass you, baby)
(Don't let it pass you, baby)

[Verse 1]
Passing seasons over fade away
Into misty clouds of autumn grey
As I sit here looking at the street
Little figures quickly moving feet
I'm just a pebble on the beach
And I sit and wonder why
Little people running around
Never knowing why

[Chorus]
Life is just a precious minute, baby
Open up your eyes and see it, baby
Give yourself a better chance
Because time will pass you
Right on by (right on by)

[Verse 2]
This big old world is spinning like a top
Come and help me now and make it stop
All you have to do is live for now
Come along with me I'll show you how
Take my hand I'll show you how to live
Why wait until tomorrow?
Take my hand I'll lead the way to a brighter day

[Chorus]
Life is just a precious minute, baby
Open up your eyes and see it, baby
Give yourself a better chance
Because time will pass you
Right on by (right on by)

[Bridge]
(Don't let it pass you, baby)
Time (don't let it pass you, baby)
Time is gonna pass you by so quickly
(Don't let it pass you, baby)
And it wait's for no man
(Don't let it pass you, baby)
No, no, oh baby

[Chorus]
Life is just a precious minute, baby
Open up your eyes and see it, baby
Give yourself a better chance
Because time will pass you by
Life is just a precious minute, baby
Open up your eyes and see it, baby
Give yourself a better chance
Because time will pass you
Right on by (right on by)

[Outro]
(Don't let it pass you, baby)
Don't let it pass you
(Don't let it pass you, baby)
Don't let it pass you
(Don't let it pass you, baby)
Don't let it (don't let it pass you, baby)
Don't let it

Kylie Minogue is an Australian singer, songwriter, and actress. Often referred to as the Goddess of Pop with a career spanning over 30 years, she has transformed from girl-next-door soap star to ‘90s pop starlet, and short-lived indie darling to bona fide superstar.

Kylie earned her first big break on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Mitchell. An on-screen romance with Jason Donovan – who played Scott Robinson – blossomed into a real-life relationship, and their wedding on the soap drew in millions of viewers. However, her real ambition was a successful career in music, and by 1988 her debut album, Kylie, was released, reaching #1 in the UK and Australia. Notching up 10 UK Top 3 singles by 1993, she was one of the defining popstars of the early ‘90s. Her follow-ups to the debut album – Enjoy Yourself, Rhythm of Love and Let’s Get To It – all reached the Top 15 in the UK.

With a blossoming relationship with late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, Kylie was encouraged to be more ambitious with her image and sound. As such, she left her former label, PWL, and released the daring “Confide In Me” in early 1994. Critics praised her re-invention, and the single restored the success she had somewhat lost with her previous album. Impossible Princess was another critical success but failed to make much of an impact on the charts, which led some media outlets to believe that her “15 minutes of fame” were over.
