Remember days of yesterday how it flew so fast

The two score and a year we had I thought would always last

Those summer days and west coast dreams I wished would never end

A young boy and his father, idol and best friend

I'll always remember, those were the best of times

A life time together, I'll never forget

The morning shows on the radio, the Case of the Missing Dog

Lying on the pillows at the old 812 watching Harold and Maude

The record shops, the stick ball fields, my home away from home

And 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've done but time just slipped away

Remember seize the day

Life goes by in the blink of an eye with so much left to say

These were the best of times, I'll miss these days

Your spirit lit 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 lit my life each day

My heart is bleeding bad but I'll be okay

Your spirit guides my life each day
