Life is long
Life is short
Another one
Can't be bought
Time goes slow
Time goes fast
Seems like nothing's
Meant to last

The Straws slip away
One by one
Like our days
Until they're done
The Straws slip away
Slip on by
Like the years
Before we die

Love me now
Love me true
Love me deep
I'll love you
The future's all
We have left
No remorse
No regrets

The Straws slip away
One by one
Like our days
Until they're done
The Straws slip away
Slip on by
Like the years
Before we die

I turned 70
Yesterday
Watching the Straws
Slip away

The Straws slip away
One by one
Like our days
Until they're done
The Straws slip away
Slip on by
Like the years
Before we die
