I was born of nineteen fifty nine
|
That'll be the day rock'n'roll died
|
Far away on a dark and stormy night
|
Brought into the new decade
|
The sixties and her pearly gates
|
A hard rain fell and the times forever changed
|
In the back of a car with the wind in our hair
|
Speeding down the road going anywhere
|
Was it true we were really going nowhere?
|
|
Sixty eight rang like a ricochet
|
The world arose to a nightmare day
|
Some people found their voice and a world to change
|
One small step for man was one giant leap for mankind
|
How I wish that we could walk that way tonight
|
On a Woodstock field in the heat of the night
|
Rock'n'roll music defined the times
|
The sound of generations collide
|
|
These moments in time
|
(These moments in time)
|
Live on forever in my mind
|
(Live on forever in my mind)
|
Even though we've said goodbye
|
(These moments in time)
|
Live on forever in my mind
|
|
And the seventies king of rock'n'roll
|
In Gracelands lost his throne
|
There won't be any comebacks tomorrow
|
No Elvis, Beatles or the Rolling Stones
|
Why they were taken away? God only knows
|
We formed a band we were haunted by their ghosts
|
I remember it now like it was yesterday
|
Playing those guitars at a frantic pace
|
Somewhere we got lost along the way
|
|
These moments in time
|
(These moments in time)
|
Live on forever in my mind
|
(Live on forever in my mind)
|
Even though we've said goodbye
|
(These moments in time)
|
Live on forever in my mind
|
|
Through the London streets in a taxi cab
|
A radio played an epitaph
|
Imagine, the dream is over
|
Oh I've been silent way too long
|
You never thought I knew what was going on
|
You probably think that you are in this song
|
The tragedies behind the dreams
|
Belie the truth and the honesty
|
I have seen the dirt and the glory
|
|
These moments in time
|
(These moments in time)
|
Live on forever in my mind
|
(Live on forever in my mind)
|
Even though we've said goodbye
|
(These moments in time)
|
Live on forever in my mind
|
|
These moments in time
|
(These moments in time)
|
Live on forever in my mind
|
(Live on forever in my mind)
|
Even though we've said goodbye
|
(These moments in time)
|
Live on forever in my mind
|
