Oh, days gone, and days yet to come
Today I'm standing in the threshold again
Today I'm standing in the threshold again
[Verse]
In one room I see the past
A little girl looking after herself
I see the homes we made and then left
I see the love that I shared like a skin

Today I'm standing in the threshold again
Today I'm standing in the threshold again
[Verse]
In the other room it's just you and I
From the window the water looks fine
I see our children grown and on their own
Do you see my age?
Or will I always look the same to you?
[Chorus]
In days gone, and days yet to come
Oh, days gone, and days yet to come
Today I'm standing in the threshold again
Today I'm standing in the threshold again
