Lyrics

These are the days that I’ve been miss ing;

(A7)give me the taste, give me the joy of sum mer (G)wine.

These are the days that bring new mean ing;

(A7)I feel the still ness of the sun and I feel fine.

Some times when the nights are clos ing ear ly,

I re mem ber you and I start to smile.

E ven though now you don’t want to know me

I get on by

and I (Ab)go the ex tra mile.

These are the times of love and mean ing;

(A7)ice of the heart melt ed a way and found the light.

These are the days of end less dream ing;

(A7)trou bles of life float ing a way like a bird in flight.

These are the days,

(C)these are the days,

these are the days.

Da da da da da da da da da da.

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da.

Da da da da da da da da da (Em11)da da da da (A7)da.

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da.

Thought you said our love would last for ev er

be liev ing that the tears would end for (G)good.

I told you that we’d get through an y weath er,

may be that (Dsus)did n’t work out

but we (Ab)did the best we could.

These are the days that I’ve been miss ing;

(A7)give me the taste, give me the joy of sum mer wine.

These are the days that bring new mean ing;

(A7)I feel the still ness of the sun

and I feel fine.
