Song Lyrics

Everyday Now

album: Endless Sky (1993), track 4 of 12
author: Chuck Pyle
publisher: Bee 'n' Flower Music BMI

They gather up the memories 
Of the feelings they have shared
And drive up on the mountain 
To walk out in the night 
He knows she feels neglected 
And he wants to show he cares
So he fashions love into some words
Just to try to make it right
 CHORUS
   Every day now
   He's going to do one sweet thing
   Every way now
   She's going to know it's true
   He's going to say how
   In the dark when they're whispering
   To me you're all that matters
   And I love you
The fire of love between them has dwindled 
They can scarcely find the courage
To try to be alone 
Afraid the fire of anger will be kindled 
Two people who need holding will be 
Holding on alone
 CHORUS
     "No," she cries. "We've been through 
     This a hundred times before 
     Promises have come and gone like 
     Seasons on the land
     Spring and summer fall into a winter
     Where love's frozen
     So what if I understand, I've taken all I can." 
She's changed so much since he first knew her 
As soon as her burdens lightened
She turned to give him help 
But he could only change so he wouldn't lose her 
Now his constant backsliding shows
He can't do it for himself ... and he tells her,
 CHORUS
   Every day now 
   I'm gonna do one sweet thing 
   I'm going to pray now 
   Time's going to tell it's true
   When I say how
   In the dark when we're whispering 
   To me you're all that matters 
   And I love you
Every day now
To me you're all that matters 
And I love you
