Times of Your Life

Was on the way sending my younger brother to school, listening to the radio and got all my senses awaken from the dropping eyelids, side-bending body and the half conscious mind when a song called ''Times Of Your Life'' broadcasted in the radio. I struggled hard to open my eyes, and focus on all my attention to listening to song, as if the song has some magnetic waves that trigger some action potentials in the neurons, and become resonance with my soul and mood. I knew that i need to listen to the song.

''Times Of Your Life'' - a classic hit in 1975 by Paul Anka, with beautiful melody and touching lyrics that can draw the tears out of your eyes and the taste of missing out of your heart. However, the version that i listened in the car was not sung by Paul Anka, but a new version by Joanna 王若琳, a Chinese artist with such soft but powerful voice, i was surprised to know that it was a female Chinese artist and not someone from the west after the DJ introduced at the end of the song. You wouldn't know nor believe it was sung by female Chinese artist. A must listen song by all the classic lovers.

Good morning, yesterday
You wake up and time has slipped away
And suddenly it's hard to find
The memories you left behind
Remember, do you remember

The laughter and the tears
The shadows of misty yesteryears
The good times and the bad you've seen
And all the others in between
Remember, do you remember
The times of your life (do you remember)

Reach back for the joy and the sorrow
Put them away in your mind
The mem'ries are time that you borrow
To spend when you get to tomorrow

Here comes the saddest part (comes the saddest part)
The seasons are passing one by one
So gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life

Gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life
Of your life

Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life
Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life
