[Intro: Stevie Wonder]
Mmm, yeah

[Verse 1: Stevie Wonder & Clarence Paul]
Hello there
Gee, it's been a long, long time, yeah
You wanna know, how am I doing
Well, I guess that I'm doing fine

[Chorus: Stevie Wonder & Clarence Paul]
It's been so long
It seems like only yesterday
Dear, ain't it funny how time slips away?

[Verse 2: Stevie Wonder & Clarence Paul]
How's your new love?
Well, I hope that he's doing fine
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh yeah
I heard you told him
That you'd love him 'til the end of time
Mmm-mmm, oh yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus: Clarence Paul, Stevie Wonder, Both]
Well, that's the same thing you told me
It seems like just the other day
(Just the other day, just the other day)
Dear, ain't it funny how time slips away?
[Verse 3: Stevie Wonder & Clarence Paul]
I've gotta go now
Well, I guess I'll be seeing you around
(Whoa-oh, oh yeah, oh yeah)
I don't know when, though
When I'll be back in town
(Yeah, oh yeah)
But I want you to remember, yeah, what I tell you
I know in time you're gonna have to pay
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Dear, ain't it funny how time slips away?

[Outro: Stevie Wonder & Clarence Paul]
Just wanna say mmm, mmm, mmm
But dear, ain't it funny how time slips away?
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh
