Lyrics
VERSE:
In the flowered fields of youth
time is far away.
In the shadows and the mountains
we all wanna play.
PRE-CHORUS:
Do you remember the time
we were smokin' and drinkin' red wine
and we said that one day we would shine
like the stars.
VERSE:
In the days that follow,
with all hopes to return,
you seek out your face in the crowd,
but nobody turns.
PRE-CHORUS:
Do you remember that place?
I can tell by the look on your face.
Oh we partied all night, but all in good taste,
and we said...
CHORUS:
Let us all remember now
while we're gathered here.
to savor the moment,
the truth has never been
so clear.
VERSE:
In the bliss of ignorance
one can escape.
Until the moment of truth,
you'll just fade away.
PRE-CHORUS:
Do you remember that time?
We were sittin' around drinkin' red wine
and we knew that if we wanted, we could all shine like the stars.
CHORUS:
So let us all remember now
while we're gathered here,
to savor the moment...
the truth has never been
so clear...
REPEAT CHORUS AND END.
