Lyrics
Day in the life of
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.
She says going my way
A thousand miles from fame
I'm just a little bit
Down on my luck today
I've seen the city lights
From Wilshire to Del Ray
I've taken in the different sins
But I've not fallen from grace
Or so I thought
But I've been caught up in some moments
Some foolish games different names
And traded many nights of love
Who said the best things in life come for free
Oh welcome to my reality
Oh
Here it is
Just a day
In the life of me
Not trying to get your sorrow
Just need a little prayer for tomorrow
Here it is
Just a day
In the life of me
I don't need your sorrow
Just say a little prayer for tomorrow
Night falls
Story of her life
Three days in six to twenty-five
Then chased some dreams
Into the streams
And done her best to survive
She says to me I want to be
Someone to look up to
In this life I compromise
Enough for me and you and you
This world will tear you apart if you let it
I've done my very best to forgive and forget it
She said
Here it is
Just a day
In the life of me
Not trying to get your sorrow
Just need a little prayer for tomorrow
Here it is
Just a day
In the life of me
I don't need your sorrow
Just say a little prayer for tomorrow
We try to make it through the day
Avoid the things that cause us pain
And everybody wants to act like everything is ok
We try to make it through the day
Avoid the things that cause us pain
And everybody wants to act like everything is ok
Here it is
Just a day
In the life of me
Not trying to get your sorrow
Just need a little prayer for tomorrow
Here it is
Just a day
In the life of me
I don't need your sorrow
Just say a little prayer for tomorrow
Here it is
Just a day
In the life of me
Not trying to get your sorrow
Just need a little prayer for tomorrow
Here it is
Just a day
In the life of me
And I don't need your sorrow
Just say a little prayer for tomorrow
I think they get it
