IT’S LATER THAN YOU THINK

We all might say it from time to time: “It’s later than you think.” Today as we switch to daylight savings time, it seems especially appropriate.

So, where did the phrase, “It’s later than you think,” come from, I wondered to myself. Turns out, it’s a song title. “Enjoy Yourself (It’s Later Than You Think)” was published in 1949. You can hear various renditions on YouTube, and apparently it’s still in popular use. I wasn’t so impressed with the song, but the saying has been around my whole life – literally. KW

    This saying doesn't ring bells for me...

    Huh! I guess you're just too young. Especially as people grow older in this life, they might say, "I should do such and such now because it's later than you think."

    I thought that referred to women having babies.
