Day By Day

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Next thing I knew we were in deep

Hold on to me, 'cause babe I'm bout to leave

She said it never felt so right

As the time went by

I was off in the night

She said I don't cry, tonight I cried twice

The thought of you not by my side

And I find with you the on the emotional type

Hold on to me, we can hold on for life

Tell me how you feel when I say this

Our destination is place-less

I never understood what it meant when

I said the three words that some people dread

That's about as real as it gets

Never hold back with my love and intent

I finally figured out what it meant

Now there's a spark in my heart times ten

Everyday

Eight days a week was the song that I'd play

Eight times for me and eight times for the sake

Eight times for love and eight times for the way

That I can remember those days

You and every minute wasn't all so strange

See you in the spring when the patience pays

I'm strugglin' but hustlin' and lovin' it, always

Yeah, yeah

I wrote to her 85 times

Sometimes for her, but sometimes for my

Simple collection of lies

Sometimes to find the way up in a rhyme

I woke up one morning to find

It was her first name on a billboard sign

I smiled and said damn what a trip

It was just yesterday I had a kiss for her lips

Usually I don't make much of this

Sign a sign it doesn't change it a bit

I choose to stay calm in my sleep

Seeing the prize on April 19th

That was then, I was down to a week

Longest seven days of my life so to speak

I sip up my tea so sweet

In my head thirsts the girl I've been dying to see

So, everyday

Eight days a week was the song that I'd play

Eight times for me and eight times for the sake

Eight times for love and eight times for the way

Well I can remember those days

You and every minute wasn't all so strange

See you in the spring when the patience pays

I'm strugglin' but hustlin' and lovin' it, always
