From
Paradise Theater (1981) by
Styx
A.D. 1958 (DeYoung) - 2:31
And so, my friends, we'll say goodnight,
For time has claimed his prize,
But tonight can always last,
As long as we keep alive,
The mem'ries of Paradise
Interpretation
A.D. 1958 is an epilogue to the Paradise Theatre theme, representing the final curtain call before demolition of the Theater. Built to last forever, the Theater barely lasted a generation. As with all things, though, they never truly die as long as we hold on to the memories.
