Time, Love, Hope, Life Songtext
von Peter Sarstedt

T for the taste of honey on your mouth
I for the circle gazing through your life
M for the memory of a 11 Sundays
And E for the ecstasy of being one
Time, god how it slips away, now don′t it?

L for the reason you and I were there
O for the silver tongued flamingo
V for the very thrill of a stolen fruit
And E for the ecstasy of being one
Love, god how it slips away, now don't it?


H for the heat and cold of sorrow
O for the orchestra with a sad refrain
P for the pulling down of a graven idol
And E for the ecstasy of being one
Hope, god how it slips away, don′t you find it? Oh

L for the lowly shepherd's starving children
I for the interest given by the rest
F for the future faking of conditions
And E for the empire evading in the sand
Life, god how it slips away, now don't it, baby?

Time on the clock is ticking out your lifetime
Love and you hide your head beneath the sand
Hope and you memorize your empty pocket, yes
Life and you shake your head for a million years, yes you do
These things, god how they slip away, now don′t they?

Time, love, hope, life
These things, god how they slip away
Now-now-now-now-now-now-now-now-now-ow
