Funny how life can slip away, before you know 
                     Am7  D
what's happened it's gone.
    G                     C          G
You always think there'll be another day.
C              G               D                G
But before you know it, life's gone and slipped away.

Ask the lonely man whose hair is silvery gray.
G                                             Am7  D
If he can count the hearts he's broken in his days..
     G                 C               G
I'll bet he'll bow his head and softly say..

I know a lady who lived her life at play.
Ab                                       Bbm  Eb
And I remember when she was so young and gay.
    Ab            Db              Ab
But now alone she cries for yesterdays.
Db         Ab                Eb               Ab
Before she knew it, life had gone and slipped away.
