Time Is Passin' By

(album: Soul Master - 1968)

(Time keeps passing by)
Yes it is, baby
(Time passing by)

Oh, don't stop and watch the clock
Don't wait, don't hesitate, now
Don't stop and watch the clock
Don't wait for goodness' sakes, now
Open up your arms, girl
Don't play this waiting game
Open up your arms, girl
Find out what love can bring
Open up your heart and give love another try
Please don't let your golden chances pass you by

Because
(Time keeps passing by)
Yes it is, darling
(Time passing by)

Oh, don't stop and watch the clock
Don't wait, don't hesitate, now
Don't stop and watch the clock
Don't wait for goodness' sakes, now
You fell in love and all your dreams were shattered (Huh!)
Without his love you say life just doesn't matter
Girl, you better be a mover or you're gonna be a loser
You took a chance and you're world came tumbling down
Now you're hesitating and slowly losing ground (Uh!)

You're afraid to try because you know the wrong guy
But you better get bolder because your heart is growing colder
And a, time keeps pushing on, even though your heart is dying
Instead of giving up girl, you better keep on trying
Time is passing by and it just won't stand still
So get yourself together, you've got to be for real
And time is pushing on, keeps on pushing on

And time, believe me, darling
(Time keeps passing by)
Yes it is, baby
(Time passing by)

Aww, don't stand by feeling sorry for yourself
Start living girl and let your presence be felt
Don't be blind girl, open up your eyes
Take one step forward and you'll be well satisfied
And a, time keeps pushing on, even though your heart is dying
Instead of giving up, girl, you got to keep on trying
Trust in me and everything will be alright
I'll leave you from the darkness out into the light

So dry your eyes, girl, take my hand
Open up your heart and love take command
Come on with me, forget about the past (Huh!)
Get ahold of love and make it last

Because time keeps pushing on
Just keeps pushing on
You know you've got to be strong
Cause time keeps pushing on
C'mon baby, I got to, got to tell ya, darling
Oh baby, I'll tell ya
