Songwriters: Myung, John Ro; Petrucci, John P; Portnoy, Michael S; Rudess, Jordan Charles;    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        © KEY WIZ MUSIC; WARNER-TAMERLANE PUBLISHING CORP; WB MUSIC CORP.; YTSE JAMS INC;    these lyrics are submitted by mta_mta
