Good morning, yesterday You wake up and time has slipped away And suddenly it's hard to find The memories you left behind Remember, do you remember? The laughter and the tears The shadows of misty yesteryears The good times and the bad you've seen And all the others in between Remember, do you remember The times of your life? (do you remember?) Reach out for the joy and the sorrow Put them away in your mind The memories are time that you borrow To spend when you get to tomorrow Here comes the saddest part (comes the saddest part) The seasons are passing one by one So gather moments while you may Collect the dreams you dream today Remember, will you remember The times of your life? Gather moments while you may Collect the dreams you dream today Remember, will you remember The times of your life? Of your life Of your life Do you remember, baby Do you remember the times of your life? Do you remember, baby Do you remember the times of your life?
