These Are The Days

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 TV? s on the blink again
 But my restless dreams
 Are still intact
 Even though it? s takin? way too long
 I got a hundred dollars
 In a Coke tin on my shelf
 And I? ve been thinkin?
 To myself, whoa
 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'll pull? em 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
 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"
 Well, there goes the business suit
 Who owns this whole damn block
 His roller coaster never stops
 Oh, I wanna say to him
 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'll pull? em 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
 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
 These are the days
 These are the days
 Oh, don't you know?
 These are the days
 These are the days
 These are the days
 Don't you know now?
 These are the days
 These are the days
 These are the days
 Oh yeah, you know it is
 These are the days
