"'''These Are the Days'''" is a song written by [[Northern Ireland|Northern Irish]] [[singer-songwriter]] [[Van Morrison]] and released on his 1989 album ''[[Avalon Sunset]]''. It was released as the B-side of the single with "[[Orangefield (song)|Orangefield]]" as the A-side. The opening verse of the song is a recurring factor in Morrison's music and lyrics, the belief that the predominant sense of enjoyment and appreciation of life is to be found in the present moment:

Biographer John Collis writes that this final song pulls together all the concerns of the album: <ref>Collis, Inarticulate Speech of the Heart, p.174</ref>
[[zh:Category:前228年逝世]]

<blockquote>In one moment ('there is no past...there's only now') Morrison combines earthly love with that inspired by a sun-warmed landscape, the yearning for simplicity with the love of 'the (one) [[Marriage at Cana|Magician]] who turned water into [[wine]].</blockquote>
