We walked on the beach
beside that old hotel
They're tearin' 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 but 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'll
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 to and
so will I
And those will be 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 '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 but now I need
the rest of you
