Day By Day

Day by day
We all must live,
Day by day,
Never take, always give.
I don't care
If you break my heart;
Just for now,
Let me spend ev'ry part,
Every corner of my soul on you.
Let me love you as much
As a seventeen-year-old can do.
I won't grow too attached,
At least I'll try,
And if you must leave for good,
I'll simply say good-bye.
I'll weep a lot,
But on my own,
For I know I will never
Truly be alone.
Heaven help me
If you leave -
For many days
I'll surely grieve.
But year by year,
Day by day,
As time flies
Swiftly away,
Perhaps God will deign
To bring you back.
I'll lean on Him,
For only He can keep me on track.
