Time is a 1980 song by the Alan Parsons Project. The song charted at number 15 on the U.S. Billboard pop chart, making it one of the group's more successful singles.
The song bares a striking similarity to Us and Them by Pink Floyd, which appears on The Dark Side of the Moon, an album which Parsons engineered.
The song was the first Alan Parsons Project single to feature the late Eric Woolfson as lead vocalist, and one of the group's few songs in which Alan Parsons' own voice can be heard singing (background/counterpoint vocals).

“There is every reason to rejoice with those self-styled prophets of commercial disaster, those harbingers of gloom,
Over the imminent lateness of the denouement that, advancing slowly, never arrives,
At the same time keeping the door open to a tongue-in-cheek attitude on the part of the perpetrators....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Power lasts ten years; influence not more than a hundred.”
—Korean proverb, quoted in Alan L. Mackay, The Harvest of a Quiet Eye (1977)
“I will have no Parsons around me but such as drink deep, ride to Hounds and caress the Wives and Daughters of their Parishioners. A Virtuous Parson does nothing to test or exercise the Faith of his Flock.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Treat the cow kindly, boys; remember she’s a lady—and a mother.”
