This Is The Time

This is about enjoying the present, because things inevitably change, even if we wish they didn't. It's about not taking anyone important in your life for granted, because you never know when your relationship (or even life) will end.

I love this lyric:

But holding you close is like holding the summer sun I'm warm from the memory of days to come.

I'm not much of a Billy Joel fan, but this song is exceptional. It is SO sad, but it is rather like a hopeful warning. This IS the time to remember...

This is the number one song that i have always wanted to slow dance to...it isn't about new love...but love that has endured...great song

When I was little, my sister and I fought over two songs: "We Didn't Start the Fire" and this one. We'd always say, "Okay mom, now let's listen to THIS one!" We were rivals back then; my sister always wanted "We Didn't Start the Fire" and I always wanted this one, and we didn't particularly care for each other's taste in music. As time went on, we remembered "Fire" but I forgot what this song was called or who performed it - although I still loved it all the time and was paying attention if I ever heard it again. Imagine my surprise when so many years later, a couple weeks ago, I pop in "The Bridge" on my iPod and this song comes up - and as it turns out we were squabbling over two Billy Joel songs! I thought only one of them was Billy Joel.

Anyway, great song about enjoying the moment.

mmm this sog rminds me of my old camp it makes me sad but its so beautiful I listen to it anyways

It was guiding light's soundtrack

A lot of high schools play this song at the senior prom

"You've given me the best of you, but now I want the rest of you." Great line that was stolen and screwed up by those faggots named O-Town.
