[00:01.12]Dream Theater - The Best of Times
[00:05.89]
[03:51.89]
[03:54.52]Remember days of yesterday 
[03:57.39]How it flew so fast
[04:00.05]The two score and a year we had, 
[04:03.27]I thought would always last
[04:05.29]
[04:05.93]The summer days and west coast dreams, 
[04:08.89]I wished would never end
[04:11.72]A young boy and his father,
[04:14.74]Idol and best friend
[04:16.86]
[04:19.03]I'll always remember
[04:23.08]Those were the best of times
[04:32.85]A lifetime together
[04:36.18]I'll never forget
[04:40.45]
[05:01.74]Morning shows on the radio
[05:04.39]The Case of the Missing Dog
[05:07.67]Lying on the pillows at the old 812
[05:10.27]Watching Harold and Maude
[05:12.63]
[05:13.17]The record shops, the stickball fields
[05:15.78]My home away from home
[05:18.82]And when we weren't together
[05:21.76]The hours on the phone
[05:24.08]
[05:26.61]I'll always remember
[05:30.28]Those were the best of times
[05:39.39]I'll cherish them forever
[05:43.98]The best of times
[05:46.28]
[05:46.60]But then came the call
[05:53.18]Our lives changed forever more
[05:59.89]"You can pray for a change
[06:07.79]But prepare for the end..."
[06:14.04]
[07:19.25]The fleeting winds of time
[07:25.83]Flying through each day
[07:32.40]All the things I should have done
[07:38.40]But time just slipped away
[07:45.17]Remember seize the day
[07:49.13]
[07:49.97]Life goes by in the blink of an eye
[07:55.43]With so much left to see
[08:01.56]
[08:03.51]These were the best of times
[08:09.78]I'll miss these days
[08:15.79]Your spirit lit my life each day
[08:24.84]
[08:28.85]Thank you for the inspiration
[08:35.08]Thank you for the smiles
[08:41.29]All the unconditional love
[08:47.31]That carried me for miles
[08:53.52]It carried me for miles
[08:57.65]
[08:58.32]But most of all thank you for my life
[09:10.13]
[09:11.52]These were the best of times
[09:17.75]I'll miss these days
[09:23.58]Your spirit lit my life each day
[09:35.04]
[09:35.74]My heart is bleeding bad
[09:41.94]But I'll be okay
[09:47.74]Your spirit guides my life each day
