Lyrics
Istanbul (not Constantinople)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
January to December, we'll have moments to remember
The New Year's Eve we did the town
The day we tore the goal post down
We'll have these moments to remember
The quiet walks, the noisy fun
The ballroom prize we almost won
We will have these moments to remember
Though summer turns to winter
And the present disappears
The laughter we were glad to share
Will echo through the years
When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember
SPOKEN:
The drive in movie where we'd go
And somehow never watched the show
We will have these moments to remember
REPEAT LAST TWO VERSES
