I Got By In Time Lyrics

    Saw a girl that i used to know
    I was deep in thought at the time
    To recognise the face at first
    'cause i was probably looking at mine
    Well she was the only girl i've ever loved
    But my folks didn't dig her so much
    I was young
    This is serious
    To me she was the world (she was my world now)
    I thought i'd never live without her,
    But i got by in time
    Well let me tell you now,
    Saw a guy that i used to know
    Man he'd changed so much
    I think it hurt him to say 'hello',
    'cause he hardly opened his mouth
    Yeah well he was my best friend a few years ago
    Truly inseperable
    We were young
    We were full of ideals
    We were gonna pull this whole world
    But something happened
    I didn't know why
    But that's the way that it goes.
    I suppose,
    What you say - what you do
    Don't mean nothing, nothing at all
    And all the bonds you make between ya
    Can be broken any time you want now
    Please tell me if my philosophy's wrong
    I've got to know the truth
    I don't mean to offend anyone but,
    You know it's something that i do, oh-
    So nice to see you tonight,
    And i'm so glad that you came
    Some of the people standing outside, say
    Sure feel the same
    Yeah my point is in a round about way
    Given time he'll always forget
    'cause the memories
    That ... me on
    To me everything (you're everything now)
    And it always will be mine, yeah
    And no one can take them away
