ray davies finest. written for a woman he was having a 'doomed love affair' with. the gratitude that overcomes the sadness is touching. it's free of bitterness. somehow this makes it sadder.
this one is for rose throat.
days
Thank you for the days,
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me.
Im thinking of the days,
I wont forget a single day, believe me.
I bless the light,
I bless the light that lights on you believe me.
And though youre gone,
Youre with me every single day, believe me.
Days Ill remember all my life,
Days when you cant see wrong from right.
You took my life,
But then I knew that very soon youd leave me,
But its all right,
Now Im not frightened of this world, believe me.
I wish today could be tomorrow,
The night is dark,
It just brings sorrow anyway.
Thank you for the days,
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me.

Ray Davies new musical has been running in East London at the Stratford Theatre for the past 2 months. It is set to close November 8th and if there is any justice in the world should be transfering to The West End and coming to NYC andhopefully Broadway next year because it is that good ! Watch this promo video clip and I can't imagine anyone after seeing this not wanting to see it live! I have seen it 4 times and after I watch this I want to see it again. It is probably the best musical I ever have seen. God Save Ray and Come Dancing and Thank you for the days!
here is the clip from Come Dancing!
