Story behind the song
We just finished our 27-day trip through Europe. I'm a songwriter and I wanted to capture as many scenes as possible in a song from the 19 different cities we visited. Not easy, when you only have 3-4 minutes available. Here's "The Time of Our Lives". Yes, we had the time of our lives. This trip was a once in a lifetime dream come true. The music is light and lively, just like the mood during the whole trip. Kim, Brian, Uli, this will remind us of what we experienced together. I even included the unexpected bird poop shower. Unforgettable ... the whole trip. We love you guys! You're the best travel companions ever!
Lyrics
The Time Of Our Lives
[Verse 1]
We packed our bags, hit the road
Uli, Robert, Brian, Kim, ready to go
The Mediterranean vast and wide
On a cruise ship, sailing with the tide
[Verse 2]
Barcelona's charm in each narrow place
Old stones and stories in every space
Hop-on, hop-off, saw it all in style
Capped it off with birthday laughs and smiles
[Pre-chorus]
From the waves to the shore, living the dream
With our friends by our side, we're a perfect team
[Chorus]
Traveling through Europe, the time of our lives
Our bond grew stronger, with every mile
From everywhere we went to, memories we made
Every moment felt like a grand parade
Traveling through Europe, the time of our lives
Whoa, the time of our lives
[Verse 3]
Palma's long walk, the Cathedral in sight
Cannes gave us views, pizza pure delight
In Pisa, we posed by the tower in rain
In Rome, from above, came a dove's grand refrain
[Verse 4]
Pompeii's ghosts in plaster, Vesuvius in sight
Messina's hilltop gems, Etna burning bright
Valletta's streets, a horse-drawn carriage through time
Corfu's fortress views and flavors sublime
[Pre-chorus]
From the waves to the shore, living the dream
With our friends by our side, we're a perfect team
[Chorus]
Traveling through Europe, the time of our lives
Our bond grew stronger, with every mile
From everywhere we went to, memories we made
Every moment felt like a grand parade
Traveling through Europe, the time of our lives
Whoa, the time of our lives
[Bridge]
Dubrovnik views from the hills so high
Croatian lunch as the crowds walked by
Krka's falls, then Split's Old Town
Stood in Trieste, where Brian's dad once walked around
Venice with gondolas, thunder in the skies
Dutch fries in Venlo, German charm in our eyes
Berlin lit up with history and spark
Paris was glowing from morning till dark
[Chorus]
Traveling through Europe, the time of our lives
Our bond grew stronger, with every mile
From everywhere we went to, memories we made
Every moment felt like a grand parade
Traveling through Europe, the time of our lives
Whoa, the time of our lives
[Outro]
In the heart of Europe, we found our way
Friends forever, come what may
Through every city, every smile
Traveling through Europe, the time of our lives
Whoa, the time of our lives
