Intro
Verse 1
Sittin' Here In The In And Out Café,
Watchin' The Whole World Go By,
Coffee's Hot And The Door Keeps Swingin',
Another Cloud Rolls Through The Sky.
Everybody's Headed Somewhere,
With Something Heavy On Their Mind,
While That Old Clock Keeps On Tickin',
And Nobody Can Slow Down Time.
Chorus
Time And Life Go Sneakin' By,
Like A Train In The Middle Of The Night,
You Turn Around And Another Day's Gone,
Fadin' With The Morning Light.
Some Folks Laugh And Some Folks Cry,
Some Just Do Their Best To Get By,
While We're Busy Makin' Tomorrow's Plans,
Time And Life Go Sneakin' By.
Verse 2
There's An Old Man Sittin' By The Window,
Takes His Living One Day At A Time,
He Don't Worry Much About Tomorrow,
Says, "Today Suits Me Just Fine."
He's Seen Good Days, He's Seen Hard Ones,
Watched The Years Come Rolling Through,
Takes Another Sip And Smiles At Me,
Says, "Son, They'll Sneak Up On You."
Chorus
Time And Life Go Sneakin' By,
Like A Train In The Middle Of The Night,
You Turn Around And Another Day's Gone,
Fadin' With The Morning Light.
Some Folks Laugh And Some Folks Cry,
Some Just Do Their Best To Get By,
While We're Busy Makin' Tomorrow's Plans,
Time And Life Go Sneakin' By.
Verse 3
There's A Mother In The Corner Booth,
Barely Holdin' Everything Together,
Kids Need Shoes And The Rent Comes Due,
And She's Prayin' For Some Better Weather.
Still She Smiles When Those Babies Laugh,
Though There's Worry Behind Her Eyes,
She's Just Trying To Make It Through Today,
While Time And Life Go Sneakin' By.
Verse 4
There's A Young Man Staring At His Coffee,
Tryin' To Figure What Comes Next,
Got A Hundred Roads Laid Out Before Him,
But He Don't Know Which One's Best.
Maybe That's The Way We're All Livin',
Just Looking For A Reason Why,
Making Plans For Some Distant Tomorrow,
While Time And Life Go Sneakin' By.
Chorus
Time And Life Go Sneakin' By,
Like A Train In The Middle Of The Night,
You Turn Around And Another Day's Gone,
Fadin' With The Morning Light.
So Love Your People While They're Here,
Hold 'Em Close And Don't Ask Why,
'Cause We're Only Given So Many Tomorrows,
And They Disappear Before Our Eyes.
Yeah, We're All Just Passin' Through Here,
While Time... And Life... Go Sneakin' By.
