Moments To Remember
Gatlin Brothers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The New Year's Eve we did the town
The day we tore the goal post down
We'll have these moments to remember

The quiet walks, the noisy fun
The ballroom prize we almost won
We will have these moments to remember
Though summer turns to winter
And the present disappears
The laughter we were glad to share
Will echo through the years

When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember

The drive in movie where we'd go
And somehow never watched the show
We will have these moments to remember

When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember

The drive in movie where we'd go




And somehow never watched the show
We will have these moments to remember
