SLIPPIN' AWAY

(Bill Anderson)

RECORDED BY BRENDA LEE AND BY JEAN SHEPARD



Monday's promise is Tuesday's lie

Saturday's party is Sunday's fight

Something's wrong with you and I

Love's gone wrong that used to be right

And I can feel it slippin' away slowly slowly slippin' away

It'll be gone in a few more days

If we don't stop this love of ours from slippin' away

Wednesday's kisses are Thursday's frowns

We can't live two days in a row

When our world's not upside down

Here we stand just watchin' it go

And I can feel it slippin' away...

Roses are red and violets are blue

Sugar is sweet some of the time

This puzzle's missin' a piece or two

We've got the grapes but never the wine

And I can feel it slippin' away...

Oh I can feel it slippin' away...
