Day By Day

It's been one of those days
When I want to run and hide,
Go back to my bed and sleep,
Or put my life on stand-by.

It's been one of those weeks
Where I can't be with you,
You can't talk to me, either,
Because it's just too hard.

It's been one of those months
When I look back and smile,
Then look ahead and cry,
Because I'm scared of what's to come.

It's been one of those years
Where I've danced with you,
Dozed on your shoulder, and
Slept in your loving arms.

It's been one of those days
When I wait for the future,
Because the past is gone,
And the present is too depressing.

Day by day, day by day,
Oh dear Lord, three things I pray:
To see Thee more clearly
To love Thee more dearly
To follow Thee more nearly
I've got to take it day by day...
