Billy Joel These Are The Times To Remember Lyrics

These Are The Times To Remember 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've got plans for you

This are the time to remember

Cause it will not last forever.
These are the days to hold onto
Cause
we won't although we'll want to.
This is the time, but time is going to
change.
You've given me the best of you,
And now I need the rest of you.


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

This are the time to remember

Cause it will not last forever.
These are the days to hold onto
Cause
we won't although we'll want to.
This is the time, but time is going to
change.
I know we have to 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
seeing each other at all
But this is the time you'll turn back to and so
will I 
And those will be the days you can never recall

And so we
embrace again behind the dunes.
This beach is so cold on a winter
afternoon,
But holding you close is like holding the summer sun,
All warm
from the memory of days to come.

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