Most of my songs take months or years to write, but this one came together at super speed. One day I was driving home when the DJ announced that it was the fifth anniversary of John Lennon’s assassination and then played an hour’s worth of Lennon songs as a tribute.<\/p>\n

I was struck by how much the world missed his optimism and came up with the chorus while singing to myself at a red light. When I got home I grabbed my guitar and in about an hour it was done. Nearly fifteen years later I sang it at my wedding. Everybody there said it was the perfect wedding song. If you’re a performer in need of a wedding song, this is it.<\/p>\n

The video is just me and my guitar from a few days ago, the Mp3\u00a0 is from a studio session circa 1985. It was late in the day and the drummer was getting antsy to rock out, and since my other songs that day were mellower, and since he was working for free, I agreed to let him cut loose. It shows two different approaches to the song. In my head I hear it with a gospel-like choir on the chorus.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not well off but our future\u2019s bright<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got each other for the rest of our lives<\/p>\n

Some say love always fades away<\/p>\n

But ours grows stonger day by day<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Day by day by day by day<\/p>\n

Day by day by day by day<\/p>\n

Our love will never fade away<\/p>\n

If we live our lives day by day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The world goes around and the season\u2019s change<\/p>\n

Life is filled with pleasure and pain<\/p>\n

Why it\u2019s so I can\u2019t explain<\/p>\n

But we\u2019ll take it as it comes<\/p>\n

Day by day<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Day by day by day by day<\/p>\n

Day by day by day by day<\/p>\n

And with our time that still remains<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll live our lives day by day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The future\u2019s uncertain the past went fast<\/p>\n

Till they drop that curtain we\u2019ll make our present last<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll sing you this song till the Beatles play<\/p>\n

And we\u2019ll be together day by day<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Day by day by day by day<\/p>\n

Day by day by day by day<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll sing you this song each and every day<\/p>\n

And we\u2019ll be together come what may.<\/p>\n

Day by day by day by day<\/p>\n

Day by day by day by day<\/p>\n

Day by day by day by day<\/p>\n

Day by day by day by day<\/p>\n

Our love will never fade away<\/p>\n

If we live our lives<\/p>\n
