Billy Joel

Billy Joel - This Is The Time lyrics

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,

Cuz it will not last forever.

These are the days to hold on to,

Cuz 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,

Cuz it will not last forever.

These are the days to hold on to,

Cuz we won't although we'll want to.

This is the time

But time is gonna change.

I know we've gotta 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.

Ah, but holding you close is like holding the summer sun.

I'm warm from the memory of days to come.
