These Days

Jimmy Mancus


Sitting up 
On pretzel legs
Tracing shapes 
Outlining 
Bunny rabbit clouds

In a blink 
They fade away
Making room 
That others 
They may 
Come around

Chorus:
These days come 
They're coming 
Oh, so fast
These days still 
How we wish to last

Sitting underneath 
Our tree
Carving hearts 
Around the letters 
Of our names

How we pray 
That it won't end 
(Lord we're gonna pray)
Though we know some how 
It never stays the same

(Chorus)

I know 
It's hard to only
Imagine a time 
When we're gone

But when you come 
And hold me
Time 
She won't move us along

Little baby 
Dance up high
Pay no mind to Mother 
As she goes on by

From the ceiling 
To the ground
Up and down goes baby 
Dancing round and round

(Chorus)

These days come 
They're coming 
Oh, so fast
These days still 
You know 
They're meant to pass
