#WillieNelson #FunnyHowTimeSlipsAway #AustinCityLimits
Chorus:
How's your new love?
I hope that he's doing fine
I heard you told him
That you'd love him till the end of time
Now that's the same thing that you told me
Seems like just the other day
Gee, ain't it funny how time slips away?
Austin City Limits is a production of KLRU-TV, Austin PBS (c) The Capital of Texas Public Telecommunications Council

Willie slips in the subtle jazz guitar progressions that scream WILLIE NELSON in his compositions. So unique and cool

[@cooperrobertson]

My favorite version of this song

[@randallflagg9659]

They say some folks are a national treasure, but Willie Nelson is a treasure for the whole world. ❤

[@M1ridleguy]

You can tell everyone around him is thinking wow we’re in the presence of a real legend

[@johnpapanikolas8064]

I heard Willie when he was 87 at an outdoor concert in Chicago 3 years ago. He can still melt your heart, just like he does here. Magical, both singing and playing. A true American icon and National treasure.

[@AS-zd9my]

Crazy. 1979 a year after high school. Sure "time slips away" !!!

Willie is one of the greatest song writers, ever, and he doesn’t get near enough credit that he deserves. He’s a pretty damned good actor, too.

[@johnr8820]

His guitar playing is CRIMINALLY underrated

[@stripedshirts]

my mom taught me this song and i changed it up just a tiny bit and did it at karaoke, and she loved it. lost her back in 2009, but i will always think of her when i hear this song. well, i think of her all the time, but i recall the exact place and time where she sang it when we were doing karaoke at her (my old) house. great memories.

[@pnatwick]

Notice how quiet everyone else is while Willie spellbinds them?

[@jackiesalgado709]

You were always on my mind please play For me

[@jackiesalgado709]

You Thanks

[@pnatwick]

Saw the first reply, quietly sang the tune, then opened up the thank you note. Very interesting.

[@pnatwick]

Aww, Willie, 🙏🏼 your songs got me through my toughest times. I play and sing half a dozen of them. The vid of you singing for brother Ray in his twilight days melted my heart. Last saw you in Yakima, in the late ‘90’s, must confess it was half to see you, and half to hear Trigger. Blessings to you both💙😁

[@IHeartAtx]

Like Townes on Live at the Old Quarter.

[@HondoSauce]

Impossivel não gostar desse homem e de suas músicas. Até as que não são deles, na voz do ol' Willie fica incrivel.

Almost every song Willie sings will bring back a memory of what I was doing at that time. I listen to Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain from Missouri to Texas the whole way. I think I drove my friend nuts.

That big 90 is getting near. Gee ain`t it funny, how time slips away! What a great song penned by the genius of Willie Nelson. This song like so many of his have been covered by so many and i recommend Bryan Ferry`s interpretation of this classic is worth a reminder as to just how great this song is, Godspeed Willie Nelson. Slainte.
