Song No. 27 "Moments to Remember"

Words by Al Stillman

Music by Robert Allen

If any one song evokes the pre-Elvis '50s, it's this anthem to high-school good times.  Senior proms, football games, white bucks and drive-in movies were still creating vivid memories when The Four Lads
sang this 1955 hit. It may not have been the year's best-seller ,
("Davy Crockett" and "The Yellow Rose of Texas" took care of
that),.....but what could top a song that reduced even the most
muscle-bound of football heroes to blubbering incoherence on
graduation day?

Lyrics

The New Year's Eve we did the town,
The day we tore the goalpost down,
We will have these moments to remember

The quiet walks, the noisy fun
The ballroom prize we almost won,
We will have these moments to remember

Tho' 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 sep'rate ways
We will have these moments to remember..
