Days

Lyrics

Thank you for the days

Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me

I'm thinking of the days

I won't forget a single day, believe me

I bless the light

I bless the light that shines on you, believe me

And though you're gone

You're with me every single day, believe me

Days I remember all my life

Days where you can't see wrong from right

You took my life

And then I knew that very soon you'd leave me

But it's alright

Now I'm not frightened of this world, believe me

I wish today could be tomorrow

The night is dark, it just brings sorrow

Let it wait

Thank you for the days

Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me

I'm thinking of the days

I won't forget a single day, believe me

I bless the light

I bless the light that shines on you, believe me

And though you're gone

You're with me every single day, believe me

Days I remember all my life

Days where you can't see wrong from right

You took my life

And then I knew that very soon you'd leave me

But it's alright

Now I'm not frightened of this world, believe me

Days...

Thank you for the days

Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me

I'm thinking of the days

I won't forget a single day, believe me

I bless the light

I bless the light that shines on you, believe me

And though you're gone

You're with me every single day, believe me

Days...
