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

Got a hundred dollars in a coke tin on my shelf

And I'm 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 pull ¡®em out sometimes

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

But baby, don't 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 you'll pack in a box and pull ¡®em out sometimes

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

But baby, don't wait ¡®till its too late

Put a smile on your face

These are the days
