Lyrics

THESE ARE THE DAYS
© 2014 BY David Poe. Charming Martyr Music (BMI).
From the album God & The Girl

RAISE A GLASS TO THE PAST AND TO THE SOLDIERS
TO FADED FRIENDS AND HAPPY ENDS AND TO THE OLD
MAY WE ALL LIVE AS LONG AS WE LIKE
MAY WE ALL BE AS STRONG AS THE WINE

REMEMBER THIS: BEFORE WE KISSED WE WERE STRANGERS
TOOK A CHANCE ON A DANCE IN THE QUIET
FIRST THE DARK THEN THE SPARK THEN THE FIRE
FIRST THE SKY THEN THE STARS THEN THE LIGHT

THESE ARE THE DAYS
THESE ARE THE DAYS WHEN THEY GROW UP FAST
THESE ARE THE NIGHTS
THESE ARE THE NIGHTS YOU MAKE IT LAST

TIME IS A TRAIN, WAITS FOR NO ONE
TIME IS A CHILD RUNNING WILD
TIME IS A BIRD ON THE WING
FLYING HOME TO THE SUN IN THE SPRING

REMEMBER THIS: BEFORE WE KISSED WE WERE STRANGERS
TOOK A CHANCE ON A DANCE IN THE QUIET
FIRST THE DARK THEN THE SPARK THEN THE FIRE
FIRST THE SKY THEN THE STARS THEN THE LIGHT

THESE ARE THE DAYS
THESE ARE THE DAYS WHEN THEY GROW UP FAST
THESE ARE THE NIGHTS
THESE ARE THE NIGHTS YOU MAKE IT LAST

THESE ARE THE DAYS
THESE ARE THE DAYS WHEN THEY GROW UP FAST
THESE ARE THE NIGHTS
THESE ARE THE NIGHTS YOU MAKE IT LAST

RAISE A GLASS TO THE PAST AND TO THE SOLDIERS
TO FADED FRIENDS AND HAPPY ENDS AND TO THE OLD
MAY WE ALL LIVE AS LONG AS WE LIKE
MAY WE ALL BE AS STRONG AS THE WINE
