Song Description
"Day By Day" is a song I had the privilege of writing with Don and the legendary Jim Vallance. The sentiment of the song is very simple and clear: you have to take life day by day! It's too often that people hurry this way and that and don't appreciate what they have in front of them.

Lyrics
DAY BY DAY
Jim Vallance, Don McLeod, Ali Milner
Bb-Cm7-Dm7-EbM7-EbM7-Dm7^G^Cm7^F^Bb^F
SLOW DOWN A BIT, GET USED TO IT
DREAM YOUR TROUBLES AWAY
WHEN YOU'RE SAD, AND TIMES GET BAD
TRY TAKING IT DAY BY DAY
Bb-Cm7-Dm7-EbM7-EbM7-Dm7^G^Cm7^F^Bb^F
YOU'RE GONNA WIN A FEW, YOU'RE GONNA LOSE A FEW
THAT'S THE WAY "LIFE IS" PLAYED
SO ADD SOME SPICE, AND ROLL THE DICE
TRY TAKING IT DAY BY DAY
(CHORUS) Gm-F-Eb-Bb-Gm-F-C7-F
DAY BY DAY
TIME IS NOT ALL YOU LOSE
WHEN LETTING THE MOMENT PASS BY
DAY BY DAY
GET OUT AND SPREAD THE NEWS
LET THE WORLD KNOW YOU'RE ALIVE
Bb-Cm7-Dm7-EbM7-EbM7-Dm7^G^Cm7^F^Bb^F
IT'S MY PHILOSOPHY, WHAT WILL BE WILLL BE
SO GIVE A BIG HUG AWAY
A LITTLE LOVE, CAN LIFT YOU UP
TRY TAKING IT DAY BY DAY
(CHORUS) Gm-F-Eb-Bb-Gm-F-C7-F
DAY BY DAY
TIME IS NOT ALL YOU LOSE
WHEN LETTING THE MOMENT PASS BY
DAY BY DAY
GET OUT AND SPREAD THE NEWS
LET THE WORLD KNOW YOU'RE ALIVE
(BRIDGE) Eb-Bb-Gm-F-C7-F
IT CAN SEAM LIKE THE WORLD IS RAINING, DOWN ON YOUR SHOULDERS
DROWNING YOU OUT
BUT EVEN CLOUDY SKIES, MEET A NEW SUNRISE
(CHORUS) Gm-F-Eb-Bb-Gm-F-C7-F
DAY BY DAY
TIME IS NOT ALL YOU LOSE
WHEN LETTING THE MOMENT PASS BY
DAY BY DAY
GET OUT AND SPREAD THE NEWS
LET THE WORLD KNOW YOU'RE ALIVE
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
