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
