[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
