On days like these
I forget you're gone.
The sun shines bright
and nothing goes wrong.
The birds all sing
and I float on the breeze.
Lord, I do love
days like these.

On days like these
my soul is at peace.
I smile at the fellas
and I flirt and I tease.
I walk by them real slow
because I aim to please.
I love the way they whistle
on days like these.

On days like these
my heart hears a song
and my lips can't help
but to just sing along.
The world is all right.
I'm unhindered and free.
Life doesn't get better
than days like these.

On days like these
I love the open road.
I take that old highway
just as far as it goes.
With the windows down,
hair blowing in the breeze,
I thank the good Lord
for days like these.

Oh Yes...Days like you have described are wonderful. Rare moments of peace in all the chaos that we make life. Loved this!

I am bound by this, you see...to become Night's sole mistress, and I am jealous in my endeavours for his attention.

Angel - it seems that most of what I am reading this morning is the way I feel. Amazing it is, and I'm glad that I read your writing. It certainly hit home with me.

to be with you...
I've tried to hide my passion,
but it's just no use...
piece by piece I lose it
when you walk into the room...
