Day After Day

Gaze at the sky

And picture a memory

Of days in your life

You knew what it meant to be happy and free

With time on your side

Remember your daddy

When no one was wiser

Your ma used to say

That you would go further than he ever could

With time on your side

Think of a boy with the stars in his eye

Longing to reach them but frightened to try

Sadly, you'd say, someday, someday

But day after day

The show must go on

And time slipped away

Before you could build any castles in Spain

The chance had gone by

With nothing to say

And no one to say it to

Nothing has changed

You've still got it all to do

Surely you know

The chance has gone by

Think of a boy with the stars in his eye

Longing to reach them but frightened to try

Sadly, you'd say, someday, someday

But, day after day

The show must go on

And you gaze at the sky

And picture a memory of days in your life

With time on your side

With time on your side

(Day after day the show must go on)

With time on your side

(Day after day the show must go on)
