Slips Away

Johnny Rivers

Compositor: Michael Georgiades

Hey babe, you're so beautiful
I don't know how much time we got left in this world
But I know it ain't enough

To find the words to tell you
Everything I wanna say
Ain't it funny when you're in love
Words just slip away

Hey babe, you're so gentle and kind to me
And just when I think I can't take no more
Oh, what the world's gotta give

You reach out to ease the pain
When I start to strain
Ain't it funny when you're in love
Pain just slips away

We're going round in circles
Love becomes something vain
All the heartaches that we claim, dear
Just face a fate of broken chains

Hey babe, you're wonderful
Just when I thought that it all made sense
Then I tried to explain

So I hid a box of certain lies
Like an actor in a play
Ain't it funny when you're in love
Time just slips away
Just slips away
Just slips away
Just slips away
