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
