My grandma was a wise old soul
Took me by the hand not long ago
Said, 'Son, what's your hurry, boy, slow it down
Taste the wild honey, listen to the sound'

'Of the wind that's blowin' through the trees
Rivers flowin' to the sea
Yeah, they're all headin' home just like you and me
Life's for livin' child, can't you see them?'

That these are the days we will remember?
And these are the times that won't come again
The highest of flames becomes an ember
And you gotta live 'em while you can

And these are the days we will remember
These are the days we will remember
These are the days we will remember
These are the days we will remember

So take 'em by the hand, they're yours and mine
Take 'em by the hand and live your life
Take 'em by the hand don't let 'em all fly by
Come on, come on now

Ooh, days go by
Yeah, just like a hand out the window
Wavin' in the wind as the cars go by
