Billy Joel These Are The Times Lyrics

These Are The Times Lyrics

We walked on the beach beside that old hotel,
They're tearing it down now

But it's just as well.
I haven't shown you everything a man can
do,
So stay with me baby I got plans for you. 

This is the time to
remember 
'Cause it will not last forever,
These are the days to hold on
to 
'Cause we wont although we'll want to.
This is the time 
The time
is gonna change. 
You've given me the best of you 
And now I need the
rest of you.

Did you know that before you came into my life,
Some
kind of miracle that I survived.
Some day we will both look back and have to
laugh;
We lived through a lifetime and the aftermath.

This is the time
to remember, 
'Cause it will not last forever, 
These are the days to hold
onto, 
'Cause we wont although we'll want to.
This is the time, 
The
time is gonna change,
I know we gotta move somehow,
But I don't want to
lose you now.

Sometimes it's so easy to let a day slip on by
Without
even seein' each other at all,
But this is the time you'll turn back to,

And so will I 
And those will be days you can never recall. 

And
so we embrace again behind the dunes.
This beach is so cold on winter
afternoons,
Ahh but holding you close 
Is like holding the summer sun,

I'm worn from the memory of days to come...

This is the time to
remember 
'Cause it willl not last forever,
These are the days to hold on
to,
'Cause we wont although we'll want to. 
This is the time, 
But the
time's about to change.
You've given me the best of you but now I need

The rest of you.
