These are the Times to Remember - Billy Joel

This is just a music video. The sound quality at the very beginning isn't great, but I like this recording the best, of the ones available.


-----------
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 is 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 is 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 is 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.

This is perfect! I'm drunk and I'm trying to show others how great this song is. My friends don't know about 80s. BTW, this is the same version that I have, but it sounds different because of the way it was uploaded.

lol @ being drunk. Who knew?

For all we know, it might sound better with beer.

First time I heard this song was January 1987 when The American Yacht "Star's & Stripe's" beat the New Zealand Yacht "Kiwi Magic" for the America's Cup in Perth Australia... They played this after we took the Cup back!!! That was the best times!!!
