Yaakov Markowitz - Those Times Lyrics

I open up my eyes
Onto the place that I can see
A memory or dream I do not know
A place where we'd escape
From the mundane reality
Year after year, we'd bond and laugh and grow

Such lessons that we'd learn
To help us down life's daunting path
With hard work and dedication we'd all succeed
But now those precious times
Threaten to vanish in a flash
(Oh) I can't let go of what my heart has come to need

So I will remember
And cherish forever
Those times when we felt we had it all

Through the sunshine and thunder
We'd lift up each other
My brothers, this love I will recall

Looking back on days gone by
I was so lost among the crowd
That same old feeling - the misfit, out of place
But now my head's held high
As I look up content and proud
You guys gave me hope with your loving warm embrace

So now we all prepare
To venture on our separate ways
Time will deem these memories outgrown
Yet how can I forget
This priceless gift I can't repay
To have the strength to make it on my own

So I will remember
And cherish forever
Those times when we felt we had it all

Through the sunshine and thunder
We'd lift up each other
My brothers, this love I will recall

Reaching outwards
Feeling that power
That we were unstoppable
The world was in our hands

Time will betray us
Challenges may faze us
But those times will always last
Far beyond the end
(Far beyond the end)

So I will remember
And cherish forever
Those times when we felt we had it all
(Had it all)

Through the sunshine and thunder
We'd lift up each other
My brothers, this love I will recall

Reaching outwards
Feeling that power
That we were unstoppable
The world was in our hands

Time will betray us
Challenges may faze us
But those times will always last
Far beyond the end

Those precious times
