He took me to the hillside
He liked to take me there
He took me every Saturday

He put flowers in my hair

And we laughed like my mother said she once did

With my father on his birthday when they went swimming
And he, he took her hand into his
And he told her that he loved her

And his words held meaning

How do we make these moments last

And how do we get them to stay
When everything passes and time goes away


He took me to the theater
He liked to take me there
He took me every Saturday

We ate dinner talking there

And we laughed like my mother said she once did

With her sister on her birthday when she was seventeen
They took her car out for a spin
Along the ocean with the top down

And life held meaning

How do we make these moments last

And how do we get them to stay
When everything passes and time goes away


How do we make these moments last
And how do we get them to stay
When everything passes and time goes away
