[Verse 1]
The sun is shining down
There's not one cloud around
Morning hits me where I lay
Everything is green
A perfect day it seems
Yeah, he's got everything his way

[Chorus]
Oh, but I've seen better days
I've seen better days
When the rain was pouring down
And he had his loving arms wrapped around me
I've seen better days

[Verse 2]
The neighbors come and go
They smile and wave hello
And all the kids are out to play
Lollipops and good times
They look so much like mine
But he has taken mine away

[Chorus]
Oh, but I've seen better days
I've seen better days
When the rain was pouring down
And he had his loving arms wrapped around me
I've seen better days
[Outro]
Oh Lord, I miss them
I've seen better days
