Slipping Away (1973)
Monday's promise is Tuesday's lie
Saturday's party is Sunday's fight
Something's wrong with you and I
Love's gone wrong that used to be right

And I can feel it slipping away
Slowly, slowly slipping away
Yes, it'll be gone in a few more days
If we don't stop this love of ours from slipping away

Tuesday's kisses are Thursday's frowns
We can't live two days in a row
When our world's not upside down
Here we stand just a watching it go

And I can feel it slipping away
Slowly, slowly slipping away
Yes, it'll be gone in a few more days
If we don't stop this love of ours from slipping away


Roses are red Violets are blue
Sugar's sweet most of the time
This puzzle's missing a piece or two
We got the grapes but never the wine

And I can feel it slipping away
Slowly, slowly slipping away
Yes, it'll be gone in a few more days
If we don't stop this love of ours from slipping away

And I can feel it slipping away
Slowly, slowly slipping away
Yes, it'll be gone in a few more days
If we don't stop this love of ours from slipping away

And I can feel it slipping away
Slowly, slowly slipping away
Yes, it'll be gone in a few more days
If we don't stop this love of ours from slipping away
