Lyrics
Twenty-four hours can go so fast
You look around, the day has passed
When you’re in love, time is precious stuff
Even a lifetime isn’t enough
Refrain:
Where has the time all gone to?
Haven’t done half the things we want to
Oh, well, we’ll catch up some other time
This day was just a token
Too many words are still unspoken
Oh, well, we’ll catch up some other time
Just when the fun is starting,
Comes the time for parting,
But let’s be glad for what we’ve had
And what’s to come
There’s so much more embracing
Still to be done, but time is racing
Oh, well, we’ll catch up some other time
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
