Golden Days and Diamond Nights

Golden days and diamond nights Another rising sun... new days begun...new days begun We're basking in love's rays... in golden days...in golden days Bridge 1 Spending the best days of our lives in golden days and diamond nights Chorus These are the days for growing old our yesterdays were bought and sold Silver days are turning into gold, and Sapphire skies... slip into... diamond nights The years they went so fast... days of glass...days of glass The sky was painted grey... days of clay...days of clay Bridge 2 The hands of time, have been kind, but sometimes... the wind blows cold..the wind blows cold Chorus These are the days for growing old our yesterdays were bought and sold Silver days are turning into gold, and Sapphire skies... slip into... diamond nights Another rising sun... new days begun...new days begun We're basking in love's rays... in golden days...in golden days Bridge 1 Spending the best days of our lives in golden days and diamond nights Chorus These are the days for growing old our yesterdays were bought and sold Silver days are turning into gold, and Sapphire skies... slip into... diamond nights repeat chorus fade John Derek Hamilton March 25,2018

I should be so proud, if I had composed this brilliant work. Each stanza flows so effortlessly fluid, one after the other and all the while so captivating. For some reason, I like this one: The years they went so fast... days of glass...days of glass The sky was painted grey... days of clay...days of clay. Days of glass seems to conjure a multitude of images and emotions. Priceless poetry.
