Live for the day


from the ABC set When the letters don't fit anymore

How is my love today,
Does she see or think of me,
Or will she even look my way?

Loving her is such sweet misery,
Sometimes I see her, sometimes I need her,
But I know she doesn't think of me.

A sparkle in her eyes when she smiles and in her hair
That hangs down, yet seems dark when she frowns,
I know when I sleep she'll be there.

When the day is done and the sun has gone down,
Though she's no longer with me, her face I still see,
In my sleep when my sorrows I drown.

By day her love is not for me,
But by night she is mine, her love I will find,
When I sleep in my arms she will be.

Oh my love can't you give me a sign,
See me like I see you, oh what can I do
To make you wish you were mine?

As you love me by night, by day love me too,
When dark you are there and the love that we share
I wish could remain when the day is made new.

One day our love will overcome the night air,
For the stars when I see them, I know we're together,
Please live for the day and love me forever.
