Lyric
Good morning, yesterdayYou wake up and time has slipped awayAnd suddenly it’s hard to findThe memories you left behindRemember, do you remember?The laughter and the tearsThe shadows of misty yesteryearsThe good times and the bad you’ve seenAnd all the others in betweenRemember, do you rememberThe times of your life? (Do you remember?)Reach out for the joy and the sorrowPut them away in your mindThe memories are time that you borrowTo spend when you get to tomorrowHere comes the setting sun (comes the setting sun)The seasons are passing one by oneSo gather moments while you mayCollect the dreams you dream todayRemember, will you rememberThe times of your life?Gather moments while you mayCollect the dreams you dream todayRemember, will you rememberThe times of your life?Of your lifeOf your lifeDo you remember, babyDo you remember the times of your life?Do you remember, babyDo you remember the times of your life?
