John Hamilton Poet Lyric

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

Mark Peterson March 31, 2018 at 6:00 PM 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.
