MY HOW THE TIME GOES BY
Cy Coleman / Carolyn Leigh

as recorded by Patti Page
with Vic Schoen & his Orchestra
1957


My, how the time goes by!
My, how the time goes runnin' by,
While the stars start to glisten
And we sit here and listen
To the hoot owls cry.

Oooh, are ya feelin' it too?
Ooh-ooh, say you love me like I love you,
While the clocks are forgotten
And a cloud made o' cotton
Drifts across the sky.

And meanwhile the moon gets yellower,
And meanwhile the mood gets mellower,
But by now I should be leavin' for,
But somehow there ain't no leavin' you!
Why?  There's that look in your eye!
So I sit here and sigh,
My, how the time goes by!

Oh my!  (meanwhile the moon gets yellower)
I sigh!  (meanwhile the mood gets mellower)
But why?  (but by now I should be leavin' you)
Oh why?  (but somehow there ain't no leavin' you)
Why?  (bye-bye)  There's that look in your eye!
So I sit here and sigh,
My, how the time goes by!
Oh, how the time goes by!
My, how the time goes by!
How the time goes by!  (bye-bye bye-bye)
