Time Songtext
von Bobby Bare

Ain′t the snow falling just a bit deeper these days?
Ain't they building the stairs a bit steeper these days?
And the town′s really changing in so many ways
It's time, time

The young folks, you're growing uncommonly tall
And the newspaper print is becoming so small
And folks talk so soft, you can barely hear at all
It′s time, just time


Jokes aren′t as witty as the old jokes once were
And the girls ain't half as pretty as I remember her
And today, on the bus a grown man called me "sir"
It′s time, just time

You know I ain't quite as anxious for fame or success
And my eye finds the girl in the plain simple dress
And I cling a bit longer to each warm caress
That′s time, just time

So it takes a bit longer to walk up a hill
What of it? But my life now is much more fulfill
But they're tearing down the buildings that I watched them build
And it′s time, time

You'll get there too, if you stay healthy
Like I say, you live long enough, you get old
