[03:45.260]
[03:51.811]Remember days of yesterday
[03:54.636]
[03:54.979]How it flew so fast
[03:57.467]
[03:57.907]The two score and a year we had
[04:00.667]
[04:00.995]I thought would always last
[04:03.419]
[04:04.012]The summer days and west coast dreams
[04:06.548]
[04:06.779]I wished would never end
[04:08.908]
[04:09.420]A young boy and his father
[04:11.811]
[04:12.236]Idol and best friend
[04:15.203]
[04:16.796]I'll always remember
[04:20.523]
[04:20.836]Those were the best of times
[04:26.211]
[04:29.932]A lifetime together
[04:33.803]
[04:34.131]I'll never forget
[04:38.308]
[04:59.419]Morning shows on the radio
[05:01.908]
[05:02.195]The Case of the Missing Dog
[05:04.852]
[05:05.283]Lying on the pillows at the old 8-12
[05:07.827]
[05:08.131]Watching Harold and Maude
[05:10.436]
[05:10.908]The record shops the stickball fields
[05:13.371]
[05:13.643]My home away from home
[05:16.187]
[05:16.755]And when we weren't together
[05:19.115]
[05:19.643]The hours on the phone
[05:22.275]
[05:24.027]I'll always remember
[05:27.380]
[05:27.764]Those were the best of times
[05:32.811]
[05:37.172]I'll cherish them forever
[05:41.363]
[05:41.715]The best of times
[05:44.180]
[05:44.459]But then came the call
[05:48.019]
[05:50.716]Our lives changed forever more
[05:56.108]
[05:57.259]"You can pray for a change
[06:00.843]
[06:01.339]But prepare for the end "
[06:12.756]
[07:15.635]The fleeting winds of time
[07:21.019]
[07:23.739]Flying through each day
[07:27.876]
[07:30.404]All the things I should have done
[07:34.876]
[07:36.062]But time just slipped away
[07:40.639]
[07:42.774]Remember seize the day
[07:46.638]
[07:47.799]Life goes by in the blink of an eye
[07:53.270]
[07:53.775]With so much left to see
[07:59.223]
[08:00.574]These were the best of times
[08:06.398]
[08:07.398]I'll miss these days
[08:12.800]
[08:13.326]Your spirit lit my life each day
[08:24.070]
[08:26.742]Thank you for the inspiration
[08:31.686]
[08:32.726]Thank you for the smiles
[08:37.439]
[08:38.959]All the unconditional love
[08:44.214]
[08:45.390]That carried me for miles
[08:49.975]
[08:51.503]It carried me for miles
[08:55.398]
[08:56.086]But most of all thank you for my life
[09:07.606]
[09:08.654]These were the best of times
[09:14.230]
[09:15.134]I'll miss these days
[09:20.391]
[09:21.166]Your spirit lit my life each day
[09:31.718]
[09:33.494]My heart is bleeding bad
[09:38.886]
[09:39.454]But I'll be okay
[09:44.726]
[09:45.406]Your spirit guides my life each day
[09:56.919]
