You're born and you walk
You learn how to talk
You fall and you fight and you try to be nice
Summer through to Spring, Absorbing everything
If you're lucky you will have love to surround you,
That reflection is yours and it's the image you're bound to,
They send you to school to learn by the rules
Joining the next generations of fools
Stop and look around
You start putting off today what you won't do tomorrow
Loading up on fear and stocking up on sorrow
But there's magic in those moments,
There always be a higher path, You only have to choose it
These are the days That I'll always remember
Slipping by so fast from January to December
The laughter and tears of these Early Years
She catches your eye with that beautiful smile
She laughs at your jokes and fills you with hope
But she's got trouble at home Needs a place of her own,
It would take her forever but we could afford it together
We'll get that loan and we'll call it home
We'll feather that nest with what we do best
Makes sense to cohabit now we're at it like rabbits
These are the days That I'll always remember
Slipping by so fast from January to December
The laughter and tears of these Early Years
So This is my life and this is my bed
And lying between us is the future unread
And here in my arms with the power to disarm me
Is my reason to live a vision of what will be
Stop and look around
These are the days That I'll always remember
Slipping by so fast from January to December
The laughter and tears of these Early Years
Stop and look around
