This Is The Time

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 on to

Cause we won't although we'll want to

This is the time

But 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

It was 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 on to

Cause we won't although we want to

This is the time

But time is gonna change

I know we've got 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 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 winter afternoons

But holding you close is like holding the summer sun

I'm 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 on to

But we won't although we'll want to

This is the time

But time is gonna change

You've given me the best of you

But now I need the rest of you
