Wake up every morning

Just to see my troubles through

If ever it was possible

I'd live and die for you

Trying to sleep on through the night

When everything is on the line

Found a way to hold it back

Singing, Lord, don't be mad

Day by day

One day at a time

People say it's not that much

I'll take it anyway

I picked it up, then lost it all

Somewhere along the way

Slowing down is not my style

If I could just for a while

Get ahead and not look behind

Looking for some peace of mind

Day by day

One day at a time

Day by day

One day at a time

I'd like to make a difference

I'd like to make some sense

But everything is closing in

Looking through the lens

Take the happy and the sad

I'll take the good, I'll take the bad

Take it all 'cause it won't last

Giving everything I have

Day by day

One day at a time

Day by day

One day at a time
