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
