DAY BY DAY
Lyrics: Robin Lee ROW
Music Joséphine MAILLEFER
I wake up and feel the sun in my face
Hear the birds singing, the people talking
And I go to wake you for the new day,
But I realize you're not there.
It’s just another day without you!
I go downstairs to make your favorite meal,
Scrambled eggs with ham and orange juice.
I call to you that breakfast is ready,
But I realize you aren’t there.
It’s just another day without you!
I come home from work and rush in to greet you,
See you run to me and throw your arms around me,
And you tell about your day.
But I realize you're not there.
It’s just another day without you!
I go to see if you took your bath,
Washed behind the ears,
And brush your teeth,
But I realize you're not there.
It’s just another without you!
I will never get to comb your hair again,
See your smiling on your bike, enjoy your hugs and kisses,
For you're not there!
It's just another day without you.
