Another Day

It always happens at the darkest hour, in the middle of the night
Just before the shower of light, that glistens as it finds her aging eyes, right before she cries
Everybody says she knows and he knows that everything is slipping away
Their world is coming to an end, but she can still pretend that

---Chorus---
It's just another day, like the one they had here yesterday
And if they make it, there's a memory made, to last a lifetime
It's such a subtle way, glance in the mirror, then just walk away
Dreaming of life like it was meant to stay, there's just the night time, between another day
---------------------------

It never happens when you're young and able, but once you're lost and found
Something turns the table around, and then it's always on your mind, it happens every time
Everybody says he knows and she knows that everything is slipping away
Their world is coming to an end, but he can still pretend that


--Repeat Chorus--

-Bridge-Solo

- ½ Chorus-
It's just another day, like the one they had here yesterday
And tomorrow's not that far away, in the long run, it's just another day

- ½ Verse-
Everybody says he knows and she knows that everything is slipping away
But it only, time and space, the love is here another day

Thats nice how you wrote about "its just night between days.... good angle...I wish I had thought of it....

A really nice song Jeff!! I like the lyrics a lot. The melody is immediately catchy! Vocals/recording/musicianship are all very strong! BG vocals are perfect. Really good all the way around!

Very pleasant sound that builds very nicely. Really good vocals and instrumentation and really good and deep lyrical content.

This song is about an older couple whose love is strong and whose days are numbered. They're taking advantage of the gift of every day and living it to the fullest. What a beautiful message, poignantly presented and lovingly sung. This song would be a great background track for a family music video of mom and dad in their later years...I can almost see the pictures. I love the way you made it into a duet, made it all the sweeter. Favorite rhyme: Able, Table. I would definitely like to hear more of your work.

I like the sound of the song. It is very easy listening and that's good. The lyrics tell the story very well and the instrumental backing doesn't compete with the emotion in the song, it adds to it. The good quality vocal works well for the genre and has a warmth that draws in the listener and encourages further listens.

Like the quality of the vocals - reminds me of classic Barry McGuire and Neil Diamond and the female harmony plays well. Very nice solo section, provides a nice lift - tastefully simple. Good length of the song - develops well, but not drawn out. Really nice feel overall. Thanks for the listen!

I love the singer's voice - deep, resonant and expressive. Great line - "It's just another day - like the one they had here yesterday." Timeless subject matter that characterizes many relationships - but rarely written about so beautifully in a song.

Nice positive lyrics. Simple but well crafted message. Nice harmonies.

Great recording, the harmonies are excellent and the drums are not overwhelming. Im not sure if the lyrics fit the music. Also, I thought the lyrics for the chorus could use some work, as the word day is rhymed 3 out of 4 lines.

Good vocals. Nice harmonies. Well written song.

Very lovely sentiment and beautiful harmonies

nice easy ride... and the two part harmony is clean and well done and soothing
