Lyrics

[Verse 1]
These are the days of the endless summer
These are the days, the time is now
There is no past, there's only future
Only here, only now
[Verse 2]
Oh your smilin' face, Your gracious presence
The fires of spring are kindlin' bright
And the radiant heart, and the song of glory
Cryin' freedom, freedom, in the night
[Verse 3]
There are the days, by the sparklin' river
His timely grace, and our treasured find
This is the love of the one magician
Turned the water into wine
[Verse 4]
These are the days of the endless dancin'
And the long walks on the summer night
These are the days of the true romancin'
When I'm holdin' you, oh, so tight, right
[Verse 5]
These are the days by the sparklin' river
His timely grace, and our treasured find
This is the love of the one Magician
Turned the water into wine
[Verse 6]
These are the days (These are the days) now that we must savor
And we must enjoy (Yeah) as we can
Well, now, these are the days that will last forever (And ever)
You've got to hold them (Hold them) in your heart
[Verse 7]
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na
These are the days
[Verse 8]
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
These are the days
[Verse 9]
Na, na, na
These are the days
Na, na, na,
These are the days
