(Tom Johnston)

Sometimes I cant see past a day
I know Im growin tired and I feel it, yeah
And the song that I sing when the notes begin to ring
Its hard for my head to get into the melody, yeah
Day to day, I tell you
Day by day
I see faces all around me
When they start to smile
I just stop for a while
And I say baby let me love you

A small town store with an old wooden floor
The old man inside sellin dry goods
Has a smile on his face
Dont you know thats hard to replace
I bet hes gonna live to be a hundred, yeah

Day to day, I tell you
Day by day
I see faces all around me
When they start to smile
I just stop for a while
And I say baby let me love you

Summer is hot and the winter is cold
People all doin just what theyre told
Its too bad, its too sad
Thinkin for yourself is a hard thing to do
Well, dont you know theyre depending on you
To see them through, yeah
To see them through
Its the only thing you can do
You know you got to see them through

Shinin my light like a candle so bright
Show me the way to my future, yeah
With your hand on my face
Take me far from this place
Honey, Ill be the key to your heavenly door
Hear me, baby, calling to you now
Dont you know now baby, well, theyre countin on you

See me, baby, reachin for you
For you, reachin out for you, baby
Dont you see me reachin out for you
Hear me, baby, hear me callin to you
Dont you know, baby, that Im countin on you
To see me through
