Moments In Time Lyrics - The Alarm

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
