Jo Dee Messina - These Are The Days lyrics

I wake up 'til the sun shine out my window and the passing sound of a homeless man singing 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 taking a way too long

Got a hundred dollars in a coke tin on my shelf

And I'm thinking 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 you pull out sometimes

So pick your flowers, count the seconds, roll the dice

But baby, don't wait 'til it's 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"

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 you'll pack in a box and pull out sometimes

So pick your flowers, count the seconds, roll the dice

But baby, don't wait until it's too late

Put a smile on your face

These are the days

Oh, yeah

So pick your flowers, count the seconds, roll the dice

But baby, don't wait until it's too late

Put a smile on your face

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 ...
