Day Is Dimming
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.
The day is dimming and I'm yearning for you
I won't be satisfied till I see your face
Every victory, every loss
Every ticket, every cross
You can put them all in place
It seems I'm finding more of why
In these moments
I feel like I'm made to sing of how good you are
The more the years swell by and pass
Each seconds more than last
It's true by far
That no profound thought or clever rhyme
No soaring grand, melodic line
No theory, philosophy or sign
Can explain it
Can explain
Where you are, I wanna be
It's your love that has changed me
I'd give the world, and all it's charms
For a moment in your arms
Better is one day with you
Than a thousand elsewhere
A thousand elsewhere....
I still remember what it felt like before you
I'm grateful every day for how things have changed
I'll thank you every way I can
'Cos my life only began
When I heard you call my name
Now, no praise of man
No great acclaim
No humble looking kind of fane
No power, wealth or worldly gain
Could satisfy me
Could every satisfy
Where you are, I wanna be
It's your grace that has raised me
I'd give my whole life to honour you
And whom I live
And whom I move
Better is one day with you
Than a thousand elsewhere
Better is one day in your courts
Better is one day in your house
Better is one day in your courts
Than anywhere else oh
Lead me, lead me
Lead me to yourself
Lead me to your heart
Where you are, I wanna be
It's your love that has changed me
I'd give my life, to honour you
And whom I live
And whom I move
Better is one day with you
Than a thousand elsewhere
A thousand elsewhere....
Lead me to yourself
Lead me to your heart
I'll be found in you
I'll be found in you
Here is peace
Here is joy
Here is life
Here is freedom, freedom
