Time Is Passin' By - Edwin Starr

Oh, don’t stop and watch the clock

Don’t wait, don’t hesitate, now

Don’t stop and watch the clock

Don’t wait for goodness' sakes, now

Open up your arms, girl

Don’t play this waiting game

Open up your arms, girl

Find out what love can bring

Open up your heart and give love another try

Please don’t let your golden chances pass you by

Because

(Time keeps passing by)

Yes it is, darling

(Time passing by)

Oh, don’t stop and watch the clock

Don’t wait, don’t hesitate, now

Don’t stop and watch the clock

Don’t wait for goodness' sakes, now

You fell in love and all your dreams were shattered (Huh!)

Without his love you say life just doesn’t matter

Girl you better be a mover or you’re gonna be a loser

You took a chance and you’re world came tumbling down

Now you’re hesitating and slowly losing ground (Uh!)

You’re afraid to try because you know the wrong guy

But you better get bolder because your heart is growing colder

And a, time keeps pushing on, even though your heart is dying

Instead of giving up girl, you better keep on trying

Time is passing by and it just won’t stand still

So get yourself together, you’ve got to be for real

And time is pushing on, keeps on pushing on

And time, believe me darling

Yes it is baby

Aww, don’t stand by feeling sorry for yourself

Start living girl and let your presence be felt

Don’t be blind girl, open up your eyes

Take one step forward and you’ll be well satisfied

And a, time keeps pushing on, even though your heart is dying

Instead of giving up girl, you got to keep on trying

Trust in me and everything will be alright

I’ll leave you from the darkness out into the light

So dry your eyes girl, take my hand

Open up your heart and love take command

Come on with me, forget about the past (Huh!)

Get ahold of love and make it last

Because time keeps pushing on

Just keeps pushing on

You know you’ve got to be strong

Cause time keeps pushing on

C’mon baby, I got to, got to tell ya darling

Oh baby, I’ll tell ya
