I wake up to the sunshine out my

window and the passin sound of a homeless man

Singin an ol Cole Porter song

The faucet leaks, the TVs on the blink again

But my restless dreams are still intact

Even though its takin way too long

Got a hundred dollars in a coke tin on my shelf

And Im thinkin to myself, whoa



These are the days you will remember for the rest of your life

These are the memories youll pack in a box and pull em out sometimes

So pick your flowers, count the seconds, roll the dice

But baby, dont wait till its too late

Put a smile on your face

These are the days



Outside the people rush to get ahead for checks, promotions and fancy cars

Happiness is just around the bend

Old Mrs. Jones sits out and suns her face, and as I walk by I hear her say

This is as good as it gets

There goes the business suit who owns this whole damn block

His roller coaster never stops

I wanna say to him



These are the days you will remember for the rest of your life

These are the memories youll pack in a box and pull em out sometimes

So pick your flowers, count the seconds, roll the dice

But baby, dont wait till its too late

Put a smile on your face

These are the days
