Van morrison these are the days lyrics

These are the days of the 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 wine



These are days of the endless dancing and the

Long walks on the summer night

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 great magician

Turned water into wine



These are the days now that we must savour

And we must enjoy as we can

These are the days that will last forever

and you've got to hold them, in your heart
