I wake up to the sunshine out mywindow 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
