There's a ring around my finger
There's a ring around the Moon
You got the big dark rings around both your eyes
And the telephone is ringing
And there's sorrow in the mirror
And there's sorrow in your eyes
And as my spirits sink
I can't help but think how the time flies

I remember when I first met you
I fell in love so fast
Your face was pretty and your hands were warm
And I knew that this was gonna last
And I saw so much of myself in you
It took me by surprise
It was a winning hand
So I don't understand how the time flies

Wasn't it just a year ago
We stood along the side of the road
Hitchhiking, turnpiking?
We smiled each time a car would pass us by
I watched my watch with anger in my eyes
After awhile you didn't seem to smile anymore
And I said, "Baby, don't cry, we got lots of time"

Now you're standing in the doorway
Your suitcase on the floor
You got no expression on your face
And my heart is going crazy
And there's something that I wanted to tell you
I'm sure there's just one thing more
I guess I'll forget
But I'll lose my regret as the time flies

Wasn't it just a year ago
We stood along the side of the road
Hitchhiking, turnpiking?
We smiled each time a car would pass us by
I watched my watch with anger in my eyes, yeah
After awhile you didn't seem to smile anymore
And I said: Baby, don't cry, we got lots of time

Now you're standing in the doorway
Your suitcase on the floor
You got no expression on your face
And my heart is going crazy
And there's something that I wanted to tell you
I'm sure there's just one thing more
I guess I'll forget
But I'll lose my regret as the time flies

I can't help but think how the time flies
