Why pretend it’s all of sudden
Why pretend that we didn’t know before
I’ll be out th door in a minute
You won’t hear me beg for love anymore
Honeyed words have chained me down
Loving looks have fooled my senses
I’ve been waiting long enough
I play my card and take my chances
No pretences

Time goes by, honey
Time goes by, it flies away
Love goes by, honey
Love, good love goes to waste
Make your choice, is it yes or no
Say one word, shall I stay or go
Life goes by, honey
Time and love never wait, never wait

See the road unfold like a ribbon
Hear the call of so many lonely hearts
Can’t you see that I’m in a hurry
Time to leave or else we’ll never part
Honeyed words have chained me down
Loving looks have fooled my senses
I’ve been waiting long enough
I play my card and take my chances
No pretences

Time goes by, honey
Time goes by, it flies away
Love goes by, honey
Love, good love goes to waste
Make your choice, is it yes or no
Say one word, shall I stay or go
Life goes by, honey
Time and love never wait, never wait (2X)

Time goes by, honey
Love goes by, honey
Life goes by, honey
Time goes by, honey
Love goes by, honey
