Remember days of yesterday 
And how it flew so fast 
The two score and a year we had, 
I thought would always last 
The summer days and west coast dreams, 
I wished would never end 
young boy and his father, 
Idol and best friend 

I'll always remember 
Those were the best of times 
lifetime together 
I'll never forget 

Morning shows on the radio 
The case of the missing dog 
Lying on the hills of ??? 
Watching ??? 
Record shops, the stick-ball fields 
My home away from home 
When we weren't together 
The hours on the phone 

I'll always remember 
Those were the best of times 
I'll cherish them forever 
The best of times 

But then came the call 
Our lives changed forever more 
You can pray for a change 
But prepare for the end 

The fleeting winds of time 
Flying through each day 
All the things I should have done 
But time just slipped away 
Remember "seize the day" 
Life goes by in the blink of an eye 
There's so much left to see 

These were the best of times 
I'll miss these days 
Your spirit led my life each day 

Thank you for the inspiration 
Thank you for the smiles 
All the unconditional love 
That carried me for miles 
It carried me for miles 
But most of all thank you for my life 

These were the best of times 
I'll miss these days 
Your spirit led my life each day 
My heart is bleeding bad 
But I'll be okay 
Your spirit guides my life each day
