Special Needs - A Time to Remember lyrics

We were seven and ten when I first wondered when Our hearts would give us away The die had been cast and faces gone past Who pray that chance comes again And we raged in the streets to the sound of defeat As our debts grew larger each day But in place of regret were the good times we spent In beds where once we lay And I had to ask I just had to ask Where it all slips away And I had to ask I just had to ask Where it all slips away And you held onto me saying tenderly You'll go on, just go on And you held onto me saying tenderly You'll go on, just go on, and on, and on It was a time to remember We ran from forever A time to remember We'll never forget it We were young We were singing Our lives were beginning We covered up the cracks for a while As we fell for the breeze of the underground sleaze We ran and danced together And the boys in the bar might not get all that far But they never had it better And I had to ask … It was a time to remember…. And maybe one day We'll think about what got away And maybe one day We'll think of faces and the names It's all the same We drink alone in penniless lane Through the tears and the lies and the lost cold lonely nights A time to remember…. X 2 When we sang for the good life When we sang for the good life
