Lyrics
Day By Day
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, we took a train to kensington
And listened to the children run
Just beyond the garden gate
Where peter and wendy played
There was a sign that said we weren't allowed
To duck inside and join the crowd
Without a son or daughter's hand
To lead us into neverland
And it hurt so bad
But it's so good to be young
And I don't want to go back
I just want to go on and on and on
Day by day, day by day
And everybody's so surprised
When right before your very eyes
Your baby's in the second grade
You blink and it's her wedding day
And we just can't get used to being here
Where the ticking clock is loud and clear
Children of eternity
On the run from entropy
And it hurts so bad
But it's so good to be young
And I don't want to go back
I just want to go on and on and on
Day by day, day by day
So don't lose heart
Though your body's wasting away
Your soul is not
It's being remade
Day by day by day
Well, you have never met a single soul
Who didn't feel the curse's toll
Who didn't wish that death would die
Maybe that's the reason why
And it hurts so bad
But it's so good to be young
And I don't want to go back
I just want to go on and on and on
So don't lose heart
Though your body's wasting away
Your soul is not
It's being remade
So don't lose heart
Don't lose heart
Your body will rise and never decay
Day by day by day
