Song Description

This song is about the course love has taken and all it's unpredictability. It can't be organized. It's a mystery, and it just is. You take the good with the bad.

Lyrics

THE ONLY DAYS
©2000 Joan Alexander

Do you remember the days, lying in your room, taking in the time we had missed?
Do you remember the days, making love at noon, and the sparks that flew when we kissed?
Butterflies every time you touched me, I was wondering how it could be, that you were finally with me.

Well, I remember the days, far away from you, well it was more than I thought could bear,
And I remember the days, when we both knew that there was nothing that could ever compare.
I remember how they often told me, this isn?t how it will be, well, it wasn?t there for them to see.

It?s up and down, it?s here and there.
It?s a merry-go-round and a rocking chair.
It?s not a game of win or lose.
It?s just a matter of what you choose,
And, these are the only days.

I never knew there?d be days, when I?d look at you, and I would not find the one that you were.
I never knew there?d be days, but there are a few, that I?d wonder if I could be sure.
There are days when my heart is empty, there?s nothing where there should be,
I guess it?s just a mystery.

It?s up and down, it?s here and there.
It?s a merry-go-round and a rocking chair.
It?s not a game of win or lose.
It?s just a matter of what you choose,
And, these are the only days.

And now I know there are days, when we?re holding hands, and the magic that was there still is.
Now I know there are days, when I?m feeling blessed, and I know that in my heart is his.
While I know that the sun isn?t always shining, the earth is always turning, and I am always learning,


It?s up and down, it?s here and there.
It?s a merry-go-round and a rocking chair.
It?s not a game of win or lose.
It?s just a matter of what you choose,
And, these are the only days.
