These Are the Days
(To the melody of 'Those were the Days,' Mary Hopkins, 1968)
These are the days, my friend
They're all you have, my friend
And when they end
They're nevermore again
So have a blast, my friend,
Let go what's past, my friend
These are the days, my friend
These are the days
Think of all the goodness that surrounds you
Contemplate the bounty that is yours
Revel in the friendship of your loved ones
Resist life's tricks and snares and evil lures
Fill your world with meaning and adventure
Visit places most would dare not go
Laugh and smile and love your way each moment
Make sure to hug or kiss all those you know
Yes, these are the days, my friend
Don't think they'll never end
You've one life to live
To joyously attend
So have a blast, my friend
Make each day last, my friend
These are the days, my friend
These are the days!
