"Time" is a song released in 1981 as a single by the Alan Parsons Project. It was from their 1980 album The Turn of a Friendly Card. In the U.S., the song peaked at #15 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] On the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart, "Time" peaked at number 10.[2] In addition, "Time" spent two weeks at #14 on Cash Box, making it the group's second most successful single ("Don't Answer Me" from 1984 also reached #15 on the Hot 100, but reached #17 on Cashbox).[3] Cash Box ranked it as the 94th biggest hit of 1981.[4] Outside the US, the song peaked at #30 in Canada.
