"These are the times to remember" by Billy Joel
This song takes me back to my college years in an instant. It has stayed with me even after all these years.
The song is poignant, true to the heart and timeless.
"This is the time to remember
Cause it will not last forever."
Always be present in the moment.
"These are the days to hold onto
Cause we won't although we'll want to."
Don't get lost focusing on the future, instead cherish all the positive in current life.
"This is the time, but time is going to change."
The only guarantee in life is that it will change. We grow older, people move in and out of our life constantly.
"You've given me the best of you,
And now I need the rest of you."
How often do we give one hundred percent of ourselves to everyone in our life?
"Sometimes it's so easy to let a day slip on by, Without even seeing each other at all"
The song is technically based on a romantic relationship, but the words are synonymous with life, and living
life to the fullest, without regret in any of our relationships.
"But this is the time you'll turn back to and so will I
And those will be the days you can never recall"
And all we will have left are our memories, grasping for those times that slipped away.
Lyrics from song.
