Life's Gone And Slipped Away Lyrics - Webb Pierce

Funny how life can slip away before you know what's happened it's come and gone 

Oh you always think there'll be another day 

But before you know it life's gone and slipped away 

Ask the lonely man whose hair is filled with grey 

If he can count the hearts he's broken in his days 

I'll bet he'll bow his head and softly say 

Son before you know it life's gone and slipped away 

[ guitar ] 

I know a lady who lived her life at play 

And I remember when she was so young and gay 

But now alone she cries for yesterday 

Before she knew it life has gone and slipped away 

Yes before you know it life's gone and slipped away
