These Are The Days Lyrics - Burn - 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 TVs on the blink again 

But my restless dreams 

Are still intact 

Even though its takin way too long 

I got a hundred dollars 

In a Coke tin on my shelf 

And Ive been thinkin 

To myself, whoa 

These are the days 

You will remember 

For the rest of your life 

These are the memories 

Youll pack in a box 

And you'll pull em out sometimes 

So pick your flowers 

Count the seconds, roll the dice 

But baby, dont wait til its too late 

Put a smile on your face 

These are the days 

Outside the people rush 

To get ahead for checks 

And promotions and fancy cars 

Happiness is just around the bend 

But old Mrs. Jones sits out 

And suns her face 

And as I walk by I can hear her say 

"This is as good as it gets" 

Well, there goes the business suit 

Who owns this whole damn block 

His roller coaster never stops 

Oh, I wanna say to him 

These are the days 

You will remember 

For the rest of your life 

These are the memories 

Youll pack in a box 

And you'll pull em out sometimes 

So pick your flowers 

Count the seconds, roll the dice 

And baby, dont wait until its too late 

Put a smile on your face 

These are the days 

Oh yeah, so pick your flowers 

Count the seconds, roll the dice 

Oh and dont wait until its too late 

Put a smile on your face 

'Cause these are the days 

Yeah, these are the days 

These are the days 

These are the days 

Oh, don't you know? 

These are the days 

These are the days 

These are the days 

Don't you know now? 

These are the days 

These are the days 

These are the days 

Oh yeah, you know it is 

These are the days
