I live one day at a time 
I dream one dream at a time
Yesterday's dead and tomorrow is blind 
And I live one day at a time

I guess that's your surprise to see me back at home
But you know how much I miss you when I'm gone
Don't ask how long I planned to stay it never it crossed my mind
I live one day at a time

See that sparrow fly across the cloudy sky
Searching for a hatch of sunlight so am I
I wish I didn't have to follow and perhaps I want in time
But I live one day at a time

I live one day at a time 
I dream one dream at a time
Yesterday's dead and tomorrow is blind 
And I live one day at a time
I live one day at a time
