Lyrics
DAYS GO BY

I
Jolted out from our dreaming;
that mean old alarm clock ringing.
We open our eyes and rise to
greet the brand new day.

II
Distracted yet so serene;
lost in our morning routine.
I catch a glimpse of her soul,
out the corner of my eye.

III
And just for a moment… a blink!
Coy meaning smiles… hoists her veil up;
and gives an etheric wink 
as she goes floating by.

CHORUS:
And bathed in the morning light,
I clearly see all is right.
I find that I’m quite content to watch the days go by…

When all has been said and done,
hey baby, you are the one!
I’m happy to sit with you and watch the days go by…

IV
The news of the world intruding;
confusion and fear exuding…
We struggle to free our minds out
from the web of lies!

V
Two happy but weary souls in
our Creator’s magic lantern show.
His love is the only thing 
on which we can rely.

VI
And when the curtain it finally closes,
time for a change of clothing.
By grace we will rise again
to watch the days go by!

Great song Mike.  I like your laid back voice and music is very nice.  Very creative. So 50th anniversary... Did you get married when you were 10?

Married at 10? Lol... Nope.
Married in 1974. I'm 71 now. You do the math bro.
Thanks for the kind review. I've always felt lucky to get Relic67 to contribute violin on this one.

I have been married with my wife Claire for 29 years (I was 31) so I guess it will be hard to celebrate a 50 years of marriage but who knows... Violin adds a gentle celtic touch to this nice song.

I was 32 when I married my Diane and I am 59 now. The best 27 years of my life. I can 100% relate to this lovely song. Really good song.

Who knows? You and Claire might make it to 50. I married pretty young so got a head start. 
I love the violin. Wish I could play it. Got Relic to play on three of my tunes back in the day.

Gratitude is the attitude!

50 Years.. I can't even do the math on that.  I may be sounding redundant but your lyrics never cease to amaze me with their originality. superb strong structure and the mandolin is one of my  favorite instruments. Ak did a great job on putting together the mix with the just the right touches of bass. Kudis to Andy and Mackie. This had a Gaelic 18th century feel to it as Poldark would dedicate to this wife ( forgot her name)

I believe you WOULD have made it to 50 Don, if Jody hadn't been called home early. You had a lot of great years together. Plenty to be thankful for bro...
Love ya man!

Your song brings out lots of feeling for our life companions. It conveys a joyful gratitude. We hit a happy thirty a year ago. Lovely song Mike.

You certainly have a knack for writing great love songs for your spouse.   There is a hint of "Happy Together" by the Turtles, but your tune is far less bubblegummish and far more intriguing, which I like.   Pretty cool if I say so myself.  Happy Anniversary, by the way.

Ha! RE writing love songs for my spouse... Who else am I gonna write 'em for? It's been so long since I was single and dating! 
Anyway, apart from history and politics, I believe in writing from either conviction or experience. I don't know how else to do it Mark.
Thanks so much for listening and commenting friend!

@Wyndsok True love is very difficult--especially in the back seat of a mini :) May you two reach 70 years at least

Lovely change! Refreshing, my friend! A bit Celtic, a bit Folkish, a bit Western. Good mixture. You're very imaginative!

I'd do a lot more folk Stan but I lack confidence. I'm more comfortable when I can hide behind roaring guitars;etc. lol....

Mike,
This is beautiful. So beautiful. I can relate to your lyrics. The various instrument parts played by the members of your band are superb. Excellence all the way around.
I'm still not set up to do fresh recordings, so a retread here and there... 
Best regards
