These Are the Days

These are the days of the endless summer These are the days, the time is now There is no past, there's only future There's only here, there's only now Oh your smiling face, your gracious presence The fires of spring are kindling bright Oh the radiant heart and the song of glory Crying freedom into night These are the days by the sparkling river His timely grace and our treasured find This is the love of the one magician Turned the water into wine These are days of the endless dancing And the long walks on the summer night These are the days of the true romancing When I'm holding you, oh, so tight These are the days by the sparkling river And His timely grace and the treasured find This is the love of the one great magician Turned the water into wine These are the days now that we must savor And we must enjoy as we can These are the days that will last forever You've got to hold them in your heart. --- These Are the Days - Van Morrison
