Time Is A Thief — B. B. King

I woke up this morning and looked at my life Filled with so much sorrow and grief And in my troubled mind I could see through all my strife That time is only a thief

Yes time is a thief That will steal your tomorrows And leave you only yesterday Yes time is a thief That will rob you of your years Your youth the only ransom you can pay

So treasure each little moment Don't let a single minute slip away Because time is a thief That will rob you of your years And never return one yesterday

Oh time is a thief That will rob you of your years And never return one yesterday
