Lyrics
[Intro]
These are the days
Oh-oh
[Verse 1]
These are days you'll remember
Never before and never since, I promise
Will the whole world be warm as this
And as you feel it
[Chorus]
You'll know it's true
That you are blessed and lucky
It's true that you are touched by something
That will grow and bloom in you
[Verse 2]
These are days you'll remember
When May is rushing over you with desire
To be part of the miracles you see in every hour
[Chorus]
You'll know it's true, that you, are blessed and lucky (That you)
It's true that you are touched by something
That will grow and bloom in you
[Bridge]
These are days
[Outro]
These are the days
You might fill with laughter until you break
These days you might feel a shaft of light (Light)
Make its way across your face
And when you do, you'll know how it was meant to be
See the signs, know their meaning
It's true, you'll know how it was meant to be
Hear the signs and know they're speaking to you, to you
[Outro]
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm
