Two Moments to Remember The New Yearls 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.

Though other nights and other days May find us gone our separate ways, We will have these moments to remember. is Chemistry, the Powell method fam, Ma, Cappelli fights , M . .. Edward C.
