Not a Day Goes By - Judy Collins

Not a day goes by

Not a single day

You’re not somewhere a part of my life

And I need you to stay

As the days go by

I keep thinking when does it end

That it can’t get much better, much longer

But it only gets better and stronger

And deeper and nearer

And simpler and freer

And richer and clearer

And no

Not a day goes by

Not a blessed day

But you somewhere come into my life

And you don’t go away

And I have to say

If you do, I’ll die

I want day after day after day after day

After day after day after day

As the days go by

I keep thinking when does it end

Where’s the day I’ll have started forgetting?

But I just go on thinking and sweating

And cursing and crying

And turning and reaching

And waking and dying

And no

Not a day goes by

Not a blessed day

But you’re still somewhere part of my life

And you won’t go away

So there’s hell to pay

And until I die

I’ll die day after day

After day after day

After day after day

After day

Till the days go by

Till the days go by

Till the days go by

Till the days go by
