Winter withered into spring
And I resented everything
I'm not much sprung on seasons
I met her then and it began
But I'm the heavy weather man
I blew her off for awful reasons
But when the wind had winded down
We ended up on common ground
She showed me possibilities
As springtime stumbled into summer
I tumbled in love with her
And her soft philosophies
Ain't it funny how the time goes by?
Never seem to acclimatize
Fall, winter, spring to summarize:
Feels like a minute
Between the blinking of a baby's eyes
To the breathing of an old man's sighs
She taught me to enjoy the ride
While I'm here in it
Had to learn to live with no hard feelings
Had to put another's heart before my own
Got to take the bitterness to taste the sweetness
Ain't it funny how the time goes by
Summer melted into fall
And I felt like we had it all
Watching time together
Autumn mellowed into winter
And I completely into her
I never will forget her
Ain't it funny how the time goes by
And you hardly get a chance to sigh
Then the second you forget to cry
Grows to a minute
And the minutes tend to multiply
'Til you're adding up a happy life
And the gratitude you get to find
Stay in it
Had to learn to live with no hard feelings
Had to put another's heart before my own
Got to take the bitterness to taste the sweetness
Ain't it funny how the time goes by
