Story Behind The Song
It could just as easily have been, "Do you remember the time....?" Sitting with friends and family and recalling various instances. Life is simply a series of events stitched together. This tries to define that in song.
Song Description
Moments in time.
The awful decision to end a marriage or relationship.
Saying goodbye to a parent.
Wrestling with the process of saying something of substance.
The things we go through that make the collective soul and how those events shape and structure us.

Lyrics
I remember the moment
When I knew it all had changed
And the folks all around me
Casting gazes that seemed strained.
I remember the moment
As I closed the door behind
Starting out on a new path
Giving up a place in line
I remember the moment
When I wished that you would wake
I sat there through the whole night
And prayed your soul God not to take
I remember the moment
When I knew that you were gone
Starting out on a new path
Goodbye is the saddest song
Chorus
Just a jumble of memories
Held together by time
Building on one another
In their wake there is the rhyme
So, this is the lasts verse
The one always hard to write
Patrick says, "It's a cold curse
Writers wrestle all their life."
But, then there is a moment
When direction all comes clear
And we are left with a message
That we'll carry all the years
Chorus
Lead over first half of verse
I remember the moment
And the harmony was fine
Given to you in three part
That will stand the test of time
Repeat Intro Progression
