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!
