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)
