I live one day at a time I dream one dream at a time Yesterday is dead And tomorrow is blind I live one day at a time If you're surprised to see me back at home You don't know how I missed you while I was gone Don't ask me how long I plan to stay, it never crossed my mind I live one day at a time There's a bluebird winging 'cross a cloudy sky He's looking for a patch of sun, so am I Don't ask me how long I'll have to follow him, perhaps I won't in time I live one day at a time.
