These Are The Days - Jo Dee Messina

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 resless 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’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 pull 'em out

Sometimes

So pick your flowers, count the

Seconds, roll the dice

But, baby, don’t wait 'till it’s

Too late

Put a smile on your face

These are the days

Outside the people rust to get

Ahead for checks, promotions, and

Fancy cars

Happiness it just around the bend

Old Mrs. Bell 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 lot

His roller coaster never stops

I wanna say to him

:Repeat Chorus:
