Day by day I'm falling more in love with you
And day by day my love seems to grow
There isn't any end to my devotion
It's deeper dear by far than any ocean

I find that day by day you're making all my dreams come true
So come what may I want you to know
I'm yours alone, and I'm in love to stay
As we go through the years day by day

Iโ€™m so thankful to the internet for being able to discover music from long before my time. I was born in 2002 and just recently discovered Al Jarreau and was instantly enamored with his voice.
