Moments in Time

Lyrics

I was born of nineteen fifty nine
 That'll be the day rock'n'roll died
 Far away on a dark and stormy night
 Brought into the new decade
 The sixties and her pearly gates
 A hard rain fell and the times forever changed
 In the back of a car with the wind in our hair
 Speeding down the road going anywhere
 Was it true we were really going nowhere?
 Sixty eight rang like a ricochet
 The world arose to a nightmare day
 Some people found their voice and a world to change
 One small step for man was one giant leap for mankind
 How I wish that we could walk that way tonight
 On a Woodstock field in the heat of the night
 Rock'n'roll music defined the times
 The sound of generations collide
 These moments in time
 (These moments in time)
 Live on forever in my mind
 (Live on forever in my mind)
 Even though we've said goodbye
 (These moments in time)
 Live on forever in my mind
 And the seventies king of rock'n'roll
 In Gracelands lost his throne
 There won't be any comebacks tomorrow
 No Elvis, Beatles or the Rolling Stones
 Why they were taken away? God only knows
 We formed a band we were haunted by their ghosts
 I remember it now like it was yesterday
 Playing those guitars at a frantic pace
 Somewhere we got lost along the way
 These moments in time
 (These moments in time)
 Live on forever in my mind
 (Live on forever in my mind)
 Even though we've said goodbye
 (These moments in time)
 Live on forever in my mind
 Through the London streets in a taxi cab
 A radio played an epitaph
 Imagine, the dream is over
 Oh I've been silent way too long
 You never thought I knew what was going on
 You probably think that you are in this song
 The tragedies behind the dreams
 Belie the truth and the honesty
 I have seen the dirt and the glory
 These moments in time
 (These moments in time)
 Live on forever in my mind
 (Live on forever in my mind)
 Even though we've said goodbye
 (These moments in time)
 Live on forever in my mind
 These moments in time
 (These moments in time)
 Live on forever in my mind
 (Live on forever in my mind)
 Even though we've said goodbye
 (These moments in time)
 Live on forever in my mind
