These Are the Days

[Intro] Mm [Verse 1] I wake up to the sunshine out my window And the passin' sound of a homeless man Singin' an old Cole Porter song The faucet leaks, the TV's on the blink again But my resless dreams are still intact Even though it's takin' way too long [Pre-Chorus] I got a hundred dollars in the Coke tin on my shelf And I've been thinkin' to myself, woah-oh [Chorus] These are the days you will remember For the rest of your life These are the memories you'll pack in a box And you pull out sometimes So pick your flowers, count the seconds, roll the dice But, baby, don't wait 'til it's too late Put a smile on your face These are the days [Verse 2] Outside, the people rush to get ahead For checks and promotions and fancy cars Happiness is just around the bend But old Mrs. Jones sits out and suns her face And as I walk by, I can hear her say "This is as good as it gets" [Pre-Chorus] Well, there goes the business suit who owns this whole damn lot His roller coaster never stops Oh, I wanna say to him [Chorus] These are the days you will remember For the rest of your life These are the memories you'll pack in a box And you pull out sometimes So pick your flowers, count the seconds, roll the dice And, baby, don't wait until it's too late Put a smile on your face These are the days [Chorus] Oh yeah So pick your flowers, count the seconds, roll the dice Oh, and don't wait until it's too late Put a smile on your face 'Cause these are the days Yeah, these are the days [Outro] These are the days, hey These are the days Oh, don't you know (These are the days) Oh yeah These are the days (These are the days) Don't you know it all? Oh yeah (These are the days) Oh yeah, these are the days (These are the days) Oh yeah, you know it is Oh yeah (These are the days) These are the days (These are the days)
