- Linda Ronstadt:
- Well, hello there.
- My, it's been a long, long time.
- How'm I doin'?
- Well, I guess that I'm doin' fine.
- Homer:
- It's been so long now
- And it seems
- That it was only yesterday.
- Homer and Linda Ronstadt:
- Ain't it funny
- How time slips away?
- Homer:
- How's your new love?
- I hope that he's doin' fine.
- I heard you told him
- That you'll love him till the end of time.
- Linda Ronstadt:
- Now that's the same thing
- That you told me.
- Seems like just the other day.
- Homer and Linda Ronstadt:
- Ain't it funny
- How time slips away?
- (piano and steel guitar solos)
- Linda Ronstadt:
- I've got to go now.
- Homer:
- I guess I'll see you around.
- Don't know when, though.
- Linda Ronstadt:
- Never know when I'll be back in town.
- But remember
- What I do
- That in time, you're gonna pay.
- Homer and Linda Ronstadt:
- It's surprisin'
- How time slips away.
- Ain't it funny
- How time slips away?
