[Intro]
(Don't let it pass you, baby)
(Don't let it pass you, baby)
(Don't let it pass you, baby)
(Don't let it pass you, baby)

[Verse 1]
Passing seasons over fade away
Into misty clouds of autumn grey
As I sit here looking at the street
Little figures quickly moving feet
I'm just a pebble on the beach
And I sit and wonder why
Little people running around
Never knowing why

[Chorus]
Life is just a precious minute, baby
Open up your eyes and see it, baby
Give yourself a better chance
Because time will pass you
Right on by (right on by)

[Verse 2]
This big old world is spinning like a top
Come and help me now and make it stop
All you have to do is live for now
Come along with me I'll show you how
Take my hand I'll show you how to live
Why wait until tomorrow?
Take my hand I'll lead the way to a brighter day
[Chorus]
Life is just a precious minute, baby
Open up your eyes and see it, baby
Give yourself a better chance
Because time will pass you
Right on by (right on by)

[Bridge]
(Don't let it pass you, baby)
Time (don't let it pass you, baby)
Time is gonna pass you by so quickly
(Don't let it pass you, baby)
And it wait's for no man
(Don't let it pass you, baby)
No, no, oh baby

[Chorus]
Life is just a precious minute, baby
Open up your eyes and see it, baby
Give yourself a better chance
Because time will pass you by
Life is just a precious minute, baby
Open up your eyes and see it, baby
Give yourself a better chance
Because time will pass you
Right on by (right on by)
[Outro]
(Don't let it pass you, baby)
Don't let it pass you
(Don't let it pass you, baby)
Don't let it pass you
(Don't let it pass you, baby)
Don't let it (don't let it pass you, baby)
Don't let it
