billy joe shaver - day by day lyrics

Loading...

he was twenty and one years the day they were married
she was a young girl just turned seventeen
hey belly was swelled with the child that she carried
the unwelcome start of a god-given dream

day by day their love kept on growing
their light kept on glowing and shining so bright
there’s hope for the lovers that god draws together
if they hang on ’til everything turns out alright

while the young man broke horses and worked at the sawmill
the young girl would sing to the baby inside
she’d sing him the blues and some rock-n-roll music
then drift off to sleep with a sweet lullaby

day by day their love kept on growing
their light kept on glowing as the years flew on by
there’s hope for the family that god holds together
if they hang on ’til everything turns out alright

his fingers would glide ‘cross the frets of the guitar
like slivers of light cross an azure blue sky
the father and son with the prayers of the mother
still grew in the glow of the heavenly light

day by day their love kept on growing
burning and churning through the echoes of light
the young girl went home to her heavenly father
while the husband and son sang the mother good-bye

there’s many a moonbeam gets lost in the forest
and many a forest got burnt to the ground
the son went with jesus to be with his mother
the father just fell to his knees on the ground

day by day his heart kept on breaking
and aching to fly to his home in the sky
but now he’s arisen from the flames of the forest
with songs from the family that never will die

day by day their love keeps on growing
their light keeps on growing and glowing so bright
there’s hope for the family that god holds together
’til they all meet again in the sweet by and by
