"Time Goes By" is a song by Japanese j-pop group Every Little Thing, released as their eighth single on February 11, 1998. It was used as the theme song for the drama Amai Kekkon. Hideaki Tokunaga covered the song on his 2007 album Vocalist 3. Juju also covered the song on her 2010 album Request.
Goes ( pronunciation (help·info)) is a municipality and a city in the southwestern Netherlands in Zuid-Beveland, in the province Zeeland. The city of Goes has approximately 27,000 residents.
Goes was founded in the 10th century on the edge of a river: de Korte Gos (the Short Gos). The village grew fast and in the early 12th century it had a market square and a church devoted to Maria. In 1405 Goes received city rights, and in 1417 it was allowed to build walls around the city. The prosperity of the city was based upon the cloth industry and the production of salt. In the 16th century Goes declined. Its connection to the sea got bogged down and in 1544 a large fire destroyed a part of the city.
In 1577 the Spanish soldiers who occupied Goes were driven out by Prince Maurits of Nassau. The prince built a defence wall around Goes, which is still partly present. In the centuries thereafter Goes did not play an important role, except as an agricultural centre. In 1868 a railway was constructed through it, but this did not lead to industrialisation. Agriculture remains the most important economic activity.
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today, Madam
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today
She is sorry to be delayed
But last evening down in Lover's Lane she strayed, Madam
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today
When she woke up and found
That her dream of love was gone, Madam
She ran to the man who had led her so far astray
And from under her velvet gown
She drew a gun and shot her lover down, Madam
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today
When the mob came and got her
And dragged her from the jail, Madam
They strung her upon the old willow across the way
And the moment before she died
She lifted up her lovely head and cried, Madam
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today
