These Days
Nona Marie and the Choir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just a simple man, with simple plans
Took a look at the news
Grabbed a remote, turned it off
Stuff gave me the blues
To pass the time, put some music on just to ease my mind
Summer breeze, blue skies beckoning
All these days
Oh I can see the sun, the moon and stars
I often wonder how they got so far
Who set them there
What about me
What's my destiny
All these days
All these days
All these days
All these days
The broken line on the winding road has a hypnotic haze
It entrances as it takes me to a waiting embrace
The circumstance of my chosen life keeps me moving on
I see your smile it's calling me, it's bringing me home
All these days
All I can see are the clouds that bring the rain
But the only way to grow is to live through the pain
As the gray breaks I finally see
My serenity
All these days
All these days
All these days
All these days
All these days
Oh I can see the sun, the moon and stars
I often wonder how they got so far
Who set them there
What about me
What's my destiny
All these days
All I can see are the clouds that bring the rain
But the only way to grow is to live through the pain
As the gray breaks I finally see
My serenity
All these days
All these days




All these days
All these days

Line by Line Meaning

I know you can't help that your smile's the brightest
Your smile is so bright that it's impossible to look away from.


It's hard to look away, baby
Your beauty is captivating.


Your eyes make peace like a river
Your calm, peaceful gaze is comforting.


And your eyes make love like an ocean
Your loving gaze is deep and all-encompassing.


You give me joy like a fountain deep down in my soul
Being with you brings me deep, unrelenting joy.


One of these days, one of these days, one of these days
We will be reunited one day.


You don't think that you'll ever die, looking like you do
You are so beautiful that you seem immortal.


We all pass away
Everyone dies eventually.


And I don't want to live a minute longer than you
I don't want to live without you.


So let's meet the Lord together
Let's die together and go to heaven.


You give me joy like a fountain deep down in my soul
Being with you brings me deep, unrelenting joy.


And I want to lay next to you when our glory fades
I want to be with you until the end of our lives.


And I want to tell you you're the sweetest thing that the Lord has ever made

They say youth is a vision that we can't see till we're old
We can only fully appreciate our youth once it's gone.


But you're the sweetest revelation that these weary eyes will ever hold
You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.


Reap and sow the things you won't let go
Hold onto the things that matter most to you.


Four o'clock flowers bloom in the morning
Some things are only beautiful for a short time.


They fold in the afternoon
That beauty is fleeting.


Seems like everyone's movin' away
It feels like everyone is leaving.


There's so much beauty and it fades so soon
Life is full of beautiful things that don't last.


I'll never turn away
I will always be by your side.


One of these days, one of these days, one of these days
We will be reunited one day.
