Watching My Life Go By is the third studio album by Michael Hedges released in 1985. After two solo instrumental albums, Hedges sang on all the tracks on this release.
Music critic Jason Anderson, writing for Allmusic, wrote of the album "Subdued, almost uncharacteristically restrained, Hedges the singer/songwriter doesn't quite live up to Hedges the avant-garde or self-proclaimed "violent acoustic" guitarist... A bit of a learning experience, Watching My Life Go By might not be Hedges' finest offering; however, the record still features plenty of great performances of heartfelt material."
All compositions by Michael Hedges except "All Along the Watchtower" by Bob Dylan.
"Holiday" ends with Hedges singing the first verse of "My Country, 'Tis of Thee", which is not credited in the liner notes.
