Text: Louise Goffin. Kid Blue / Louise Goffin. Might as Well Pass By.

Written by Louise Goffin, Bill Olvia & Gerry Goffin.





There comes a time when I just don't know

It always seems to happen when you go

I need you standing by



Every time you leave, it all seems wrong

Something dies inside every time you're gone



I need you standing by

When you're with me, trouble fades away

Love you give me is easy to repay

Time won't stand still, you know it's gonna fly

But when time is without you . . .

It might as well pass by.




I got good love to give you


But it ain't gonna happen if you don't come through
If you want me you gotta try



You should know by now we don't have to compete

Just like the time we met on that two- way street



You'll find out I speak no lie

When you're with me, trouble fades away

Love you give me is easy to repay

But when time is without out . . .
Time won't stand still, you know it's gonna fly


It might as well pass by.
