These Are the Days Lyrics

This is a great song off his legendary Avalon Sunset album. Actually, i think it's one
of Van the Man's best (excluding Tupelo Honey). Have a go, the intro riff sounds fantastic
when it's right. The chords are really easy, it's only the intro that's a bit
hard. Listen to the cd to get the timing right.

These are the days of endless summer
These are the days the time is now
There is no past, there's only future
There's only here, there's only now
Oh your smiling face, your gracious presence
The fires of spring are kindling bright
Oh the radiant heart and the song of glory
Crying freedom in the night
These are the days by the sparkling river
His timely grace and our treasured find
This is the love of the one magician
Turned the water into the wine
These are the days of the endless dancing and the
Long walks on the summer nights
These are the days of the true romancing
When I'm holding you oh so tight
These are the days by the sparkling river
His timely grace and our treasured find
This is the love of the one magician
Turned the water into the wine
These are the days now we must savour
And we must enjoy as we can
These are the days that will last forever
You've got to hold them in your heart

His timely grace and our treasured find

Turned the water into the wine
