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 that?" These are the days we will remember And these are the times that won't come again The highest of flames become an ember And you gotta live 'em while you can These are the days we will remember [Repeat: x4] 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 C'mon, c'mon now Oh days go by Yeah, just like a hand out the window wavin' in the wind as the cars go by Days go by
