I Got By In Time

Jam

Saw a girl that I used to know


I was deep in thought at the time


To recognise the face at first


'Cause I was probably looking at mine


Well she was the only girl I've ever loved


But my folks didn't dig her so much


I was young


This is serious


To me she was the world (she was my world now)


I thought I'd never live without her,


But I got by in time





Well let me tell you now,


Saw a guy that I used to know


Man he'd changed so much


I think it hurt him to say 'hello',


'Cause he hardly opened his mouth


Yeah well he was my best friend a few years ago


Truly inseperable





We were young


We were full of ideals


We were gonna pull this whole world


But something happened


I didn't know why


But that's the way that it goes.





I suppose,


What you say - what you do


Don't mean nothing, nothing at all


And all the bonds you make between ya


Can be broken any time you want now


Please tell me if my philosophy's wrong


I've got to know the truth


I don't mean to offend anyone but,


You know it's something that I do, oh-





So nice to see you tonight,


And I'm so glad that you came


Some of the people standing outside, say


Sure feel the same


Yeah my point is in a round about way


Given time he'll always forget


'Cause the memories


That ... me on


To me everything (you're everything now)


And it always will be mine, yeah


And no one can take them away
