Sometimes I can't see past a day   I know I'm growin' tired and I feel it, yeah   And the song that I sing when the notes begin to ring   It's hard for my head to get into the melody, yeah   Day to day, I tell you   Day by day   I see faces all around me   When they start to smile   I just stop for a while   And I say baby let me love you      A small town store with an old wooden floor   The old man inside sellin' dry goods   Has a smile on his face   Don't you know that's hard to replace   I bet he's gonna live to be a hundred, yeah      Day to day, I tell you   Day by day   I see faces all around me   When they start to smile   I just stop for a while   And I say baby let me love you      Summer is hot and the winter is cold   People all doin' just what they're told   It's too bad, it's too sad   Thinkin' for yourself is a hard thing to do   Well, don't you know they're depending on you   To see them through, yeah   To see them through   It's the only thing you can do   You know you got to see them through      Shinin' my light like a candle so bright   Show me the way to my future, yeah   With your hand on my face   Take me far from this place   Honey, I'll be the key to your heavenly door   Hear me, baby, calling to you now   Don't you know now baby, well, they're countin' on you      See me, baby, reachin' for you   For you, reachin' out for you, baby   Don't you see me reachin' out for you   Hear me, baby, hear me callin' to you   Don't you know, baby, that I'm countin' on you   To see me through
