My love of life just gets stronger  As the days go by  And some things I wish they would last  Just a little bit long longer  As the days go by  And some things don't look to me  Like they used to be, no  (As the days go by)  I get a little closer to  (As the days go by)  A little bit closer to you  (As the days go by)  I get a little closer  I'm coming back to you  Sure as the wind keeps on changing direction  I've come to understand, there's no such a thing as perfection  And what went on before  Doesn't matter anymore  (As the days go by)  I get a little closer to  (As the days go by)   A little bit closer to you  (As the days go by)   I get a little closer  I'm coming back to you  To you  To you  Cause things don't look to me  Like they used to be   (As the days go by)  I get a little closer to  (As the days go by)   A little bit closer to you  (As the days go by)  I get a little closer to  (As the days go by)  A little bit closer to you  (As the days go by)  I get a little closer  I'm coming back to you  Mmmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
