Think of it this way. What is the active word or phrase? It's "can be", and "can" is a modifier of the verb "be".
So, WHAT "can be"? "The days" can be. ("of your youth" is a modifying phrase that tells WHICH "DAYS"). Take away the modifer, "the", and you get the subject - "days".
Subject, "days"; verb, "be".

"Days" is the simple subject. "Can be" is the helping verb + verb.
Youth isn't it because you do this with prepositional phrases (of your youth) & mentally take them out of the sentence, when you look for subjects & verbs!

Days is the simple subject and be is the main verb.
