Mr. James sits on a park bench
Feeds the pigeons from the crust of his bread
And I come around from time to time

To hear his stories unwind
Cause it helps me clear my head


Mr. James says
Ten years ago I was rich man
Well I had a corporate office

You know that down on 17th and Main
Somewhere along the line
I guess I just lost all track of time

And tried to make myself a name

Refrain:

Time goes by
Just like yesterday
Used to be tomorrow

Time goes by
Just like yesterday
Just like like Mr. James says


Take these pigeons for example
Well they never seem to have

A single worry on their mind
Well maybe it's because they know
That the good Lord is watching over everyone of us

'cause you know that's the secret of this life

Refrain


Don't worry about tomorrow
Tomorrow will take care of itself

Don't worry about tomorrow
Tomorrow will - take - care of itself


Yeah!

Yesterday I stopped by that old park bench

I fed that Mr. James pigeons from the crust of my bread
Well I watched the world fly by
And I thought all about my life

I remembered what Mr. James said

Refrain x2


Refrain (Background vocals: "Don't worry about tomorrow")


Refrain (Background vocals: "Don't worry about tomorrow")

Time goes by

Well it's just like yesterday
Used to be tomorrrow (Background vocals: "Don't worry about tomorrow")
Time goes by

Well it's just like yesterday
Just like Mr. James said
