A co-worker is looking for a song title - it’s a sad song - talks a lot about Time. She shays it either is, or sounds liek the Bee Gees - it’s definitely a “golden oldie”. I know this isn’t a lot to go on, any help is welcome ---

All I can think of is [Time is on My Side](http://www.keno.org/stones_lyrics/timeisonmyside.htm) by the Stones, also covered by the Moody Blues. ---

The Zombies did _Time of the Season_ (for loving). The BeeGees did _Time Is Time_. Time is time Don’t give me no wrong in makin’ love Love is love, turn me around till you burn me up Now is now, we master the world And time will make it all right , all right ---

Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce? _If I could save time in a bottle The first thing that Id like to do Is to save every day Till eternity passes away Just to spend them with you_ It’s not a sad song, per se, but the verses are in a minor key. ---

The Electric Light Orchestra had an album in the early '80s called “Time,” and many of the songs had a science fiction-y flavor to them. Some ELO songs do sound like the BeeGees: [Time (Electric Light Orchestra album) - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_%28Electric_Light_Orchestra_album%29) The Alan Parsons Project also had a sad-sounding song called “Time” about… well, time. It could also be mistaken for a BeeGees tune: [Time lyrics - THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT](http://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/the_alan_parsons_project/time.html) ---

Also “Driftwood” by the Moody Blues. It has the recurring line, “Time waits for no one at all, no not even you.” ---

Not old old (mid 80’s) but DeBarge’s “Time Will Reveal” features a man’s high pitched girly voice similar to Barry Gibb. 🙂 ---

I’ll bring all of these suggestions to her, so far we know - It’s not the Stones or The Byrds. It’s not Jim Croce or The Zombies. ---

Frida of ABBA recorded a song called [Time](http://felpin80.tripod.com/ata/id29.html) from Abbacadabra, the first show to use ABBA’s music. But the song is so rare I can’t image anyone ever hearing it in passing. ---

I have no idea what the song might be based on the vague description, but as one who remembers hearing Beegees songs on the radio as they were released I am distressed at the notion that they might be considered “golden oldies.” ---

“Fly Like an Eagle” by Steve Miller? _Time keeps on slippin’ (slippin’…slippin’) Into the future…_ Or maybe [“More Than a Woman”](http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bee+gees/more+than+a+woman_20015723.html) by the Bee Gees: _Oh say youll always be my baby We can make it shine, we can take forever Just a minute at a time._ ---
