These Are The Days          
             
(Holly Lamar/Stephanie Bentley) 

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
