Lyrics

[03:55.02] Remember days of yesterday how it flew so fast
[04:00.31] The two score and a year we had I thought would always last
[04:06.10] Those summer days and west coast dreams I wished would never end
[04:12.09] A young boy and his father, idol and best friend
[04:19.86] I'll always remember, those were the best of times
[04:23.81] A life time together, I'll never forget
[05:01.99] The morning shows on the radio, the Case of the Missing Dog
[05:07.64] Lying on the pillows at the old 812 watching Harold and Maude
[05:13.46] The record shops, the stick ball fields, my home away from home
[05:19.11] And when we weren't together, the hours on the phone
[05:26.86] I'll always remember, those were the best of times
[05:40.10] I'll cherish them forever, the best of times
[05:47.13] But then came the call, our lives changed forever more
[06:00.35] You can pray for a change but prepare for the end
[07:19.55] The fleeting winds of time flying through each day
[07:32.57] All the things I should've done but time just slipped away
[07:45.38] Remember seize the day
[07:50.45] Life goes by in the blink of an eye with so much left to say
[08:03.94] These were the best of times, I'll miss these days
[08:16.14] Your spirit lit my life each day
[08:29.93] Thank you for the inspiration, thank you for the smiles
[08:42.23] All the unconditional love that carried me for miles
[08:53.93] It carried me for miles
[08:59.06] But most of all thank you for my life
[09:11.70] These were the best of times, I'll miss these days
[09:23.82] Your spirit lit my life each day
[09:35.87] My heart is bleeding bad but I'll be okay
[09:48.10] Your spirit guides my life each day
