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).
