Lyrics Those Who Were - Jimmy Scott

Sometimes a thing can change your life forever
A someone you don't know is at your door
Who brings into your life a little magic
And then becomes a someone you adore

Hold on to each and every moment
Our Summers turn to fall.
.And those we love have turned to memories
Who wouldn't love and lose, than not know love at all?

Remembering those times we spent together
I wonder why those moments had to end?
Why everything we love is taken from us
Yet somehow know we'd do it all again

I hold on to each precious moment
And then, when I recall,
The joy that's filled with every memory
I'd rather love and lose than not know love at all

Hold on to each and every moment
Our Summers turn to fall.
.And those we love have turned to memories
Who wouldn't love and lose, than not know love at all?

Remembering those times we spent together
I wonder why those moments had to end?
Why everything we love is taken from us
Yet somehow know we'd do it all again

I hold on to each precious moment
And then, when I recall
The joy that's filled with every memory
I'd rather love and lose than not know love at all
