SLIPPIN’ AWAY
(Bill Anderson)

RECORDED BY BRENDA LEE AND BY JEAN SHEPARD
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 slippin’ away slowly slowly slippin’ away
It’ll be gone in a few more days
If we don’t stop this love of ours from slippin’ away
Wednesday’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 watchin’ it go
And I can feel it slippin’ away…
Roses are red and violets are blue
Sugar is sweet some of the time
This puzzle’s missin’ a piece or two
We’ve got the grapes but never the wine
And I can feel it slippin’ away…
Oh I can feel it slippin’ away…
