1929 West End
Bitter Sweet the Musical - Alas! The Time is Past Lyrics

Music and lyrics by Noël Coward.

SEXTETTE:
Alas the time is past when we
Could frolic with impunity.
Secure in our virginity,
We sometimes look aghast
Adown the lanes of memory,
Alas the time is past.

Ah, then the world was at our feet,
When we were sweet and twenty,
We never guessed that what we'd got,
Though not a lot-was plenty.

We gady sought some AWlard
To cherish, guard and own us,
But all we know of storm and strife
Our married life-has shown us.

Alas, the time is past when we
Could frolic with impunity.
Secure in our virginity,
We sometimes look aghast
Adown the lanes of memory.

Alas, the time is past.
Alack-a-day me-alack-a-day-me
Ah, then the world was at our feet,
Alas the time is past.
