Story Behind The Song

I This song was inspired by a memory I had in 8th grade walking home from school. Surely, everybody has at least one moment in their life where they can always go back to, as if it was yesterday?

Song Description

A summer song...top down, lyrically visual, song about the memories that last forever, urging the listener to grab onto the moment and take a snapshot that they can always go back to as if it was yesterday.

V1
SEE THE SUNSHINE
SMELL THE SWEET WINE
TASTE THE SUMMERTIME
LIKE A MEMORY FROM ONCE UPON A TIME
HEAR THE AFTERNOON
SINGING TO THE MOON
ON THE OTHER SIDE (THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD)
IT?S EASY IF YOU TRY
BEFORE IT PASSES BY?
CHO 1
TO MAKE A MOMENT LAST FOREVER,
LIKE A NURSERY SCHOOL RHYME
SINGS INSIDE YOUR MIND
TO MAKE A MOMENT LAST FOREVER
JUST OPEN UP YOUR HEART AND CLOSE YOUR EYES.
V2
DO YOU REMEMBER THIS?
WHEN WE FIRST KISSED
THE STARS WERE UP ALL NIGHT
SHINING DOWN
ON TWO INNOCENT HEARTS
WITH SMALL TOWN DREAMS
ALL WE COULD SEE
WAS THE REFLECTION OF THE FLASHLIGHT
AND TOUCHING YOU
THROUGH THE WINDOW SCREEN
WAS ENOUGH FOR ME
CHO (OPTION)
YOU MADE THAT MOMENT LAST FOREVER
LIKE THE SWEET SUBLIME DEVINE
WRITTEN FOOTNOTES IN MY MIND
AND TO MAKE THAT MOMENT LAST FOREVER
ALL I HAVE TO DO IS CLOSE MY EYES
BRIJ
YEARS AGO AND YESTERDAY
BEFORE TOMORROW FOUND ITS WAY
TO TODAY
I SAW YOU SMILING BACK AT ME
FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF TIME
AND I STOPPED AND CLOSED MY EYES?
CHO 1
TO MAKE A MOMENT LAST FOREVER,
LIKE A NURSERY SCHOOL RHYME
SINGS INSIDE YOUR MIND
TO MAKE A MOMENT LAST FOREVER
JUST OPEN UP YOUR HEART AND CLOSE YOUR EYES.
(OPTIONAL END TAG) ALL I HAD TO DO WAS CLOSE MY EYES?
