Let the Good Days Be Good

[Verse 1]
You set the cup beside the sink
The afternoon comes pouring in
A stripe of sun across your sleeve
A small, unguarded thing to keep

[Pre-Chorus]
You say, “How long can this one last?”
I take your hand and let it pass
No need to borrow trouble now
We’re here, we’re here somehow

[Chorus]
Let the good days be good
Let them fill you where they should
Don’t count the hours as they go
Don’t make a goodbye out of hello
Let the good days be good
Take the sweetness while you could
This moment’s real, this moment’s ours
Let the good days be good

[Verse 2]
The kettle clicks, the rain lets up
You laugh and nearly spill your cup
The plans can wait beside the door
There’s nothing missing from this floor

[Pre-Chorus]
You say, “The bright will turn to gray”
I say, “But not this breath, this day”
No need to grieve what isn’t gone
Stay close, stay on

[Chorus]
Let the good days be good
Let them fill you where they should
Don’t count the hours as they go
Don’t make a goodbye out of hello
Let the good days be good
Take the sweetness while you could
This moment’s real, this moment’s ours
Let the good days be good

[Bridge]
When the evening folds the chairs
We’ll still have been completely there
The ending doesn’t steal the taste
So let the ripe fruit leave its trace

[Final Chorus]
Let the good days be good
Let them fill you where they should
Don’t count the hours as they go
Don’t make a goodbye out of hello
Let the good days be good
Take the sweetness while you could
This moment’s real, this moment’s ours
Let the good days be good

[Outro]
Let the good days be good
Right here, right now, they’re good
