Day By Day

Next thing I knew we were in deepHold on to me, cause babe I'm bout to leaveShe said it never felt so rightAs the time went byand I was off in the nightShe said I don't cry, tonight I cried twiceThe thought of you not by my sideAnd I find you the on the emotional typeHold on to me, we can hold on for lifeTell me how you feel when I say this,Our destination is place-lessI never understood what it meant whenI said the three words that some people dreadThat's about as real as it getsI never hold back with my love and intentFinally figured out what it meantNow there's a spark in my heart times tenEveryday Eight days a week was the song that I'd playEight times for me and eight times for the sakeEight times for love and eight times for the wayThat I can remember those daysYou and every minute wasn't all so strange See you in the spring when the patience paysI'm strugglin' but hustlin' and lovin' it, always.Yeah yeahI wrote to her eighty-five timesSometimes for her, but sometimes for my simple collection of liesSometimes to find the way up in a rhymeI woke up one morning to findit was her first name on a billboard signI smiled and said damn what a tripI was just yesterday I had a kiss for her lipsUsually I don't make much of thisA sign's a sign it doesn't change it a bitI choose to stay calm in my sleepSeeing the prize on April nineteenthThat was then, I was down to a weekLongest seven days of my life so to speakI sip up my tea so sweet And my head thirsts the girl I've been dying to seeSo, everyday Eight days a week was the song that I'd playEight times for me and eight times for the sakeEight times for love and eight times for the wayThat I can remember those daysYou and every minute wasn't all so strange See you in the spring when the patience paysI'm strugglin' but hustlin' and lovin' it, always.
