Jean Shepard – Slippin’ Away

Monday’s promise is Tuesday’s lie Saturday’s party is Sunday’s fight

Somethin’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 watchin’ it go

And I can feel it slippin’ away…

[ piano ]

Roses are red 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…

And I can feel it slippin’ away…

And I can feel it slippin’ away…
