DAY BY DAY
Brand New Heavies the Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Together we got everything we're ever gonna need
I don't know what you can call it
All I know is that it works
Here's the funny thing about it, sugar
Sometimes it feels so good it hurts
(That) keeps getting better all the time
There's no sweeter sweet sensation
Than knowing what we've got is right
Together we got joy, we got faith
Baby we got somethin' nothin' ever can replace
CHORUS
We're keepin' it strong together - day by day
Takin' it nice and easy as we go - day by day
Baby belong together - day by day
Takin' it day by day by day
Baby, we ain't missin' nothin'
('Cause) what we have is tried and true - ooh
And we know that this is somethin'
We don't ever wanna lose
We've got the perfect situation
And it keeps getting better, better all the time
Repeat Chorus Twice
Together we got love, we got peace
Baby we got everything we're ever gonna need
Together we got joy, we got faith
Baby we got somethin' nothin' ever can replace
We've got the perfect situation
And it keeps getting better, better all the time

.... One day in 2022 my six year old daughter said: daddy, this song is so cool! I was stunned. That's generational artistry to last always. π
Carlos Figueroa
Always surprised me how this band stayed on the down low, rep-wise. So much good goin' on here. The snap crackle tightness of the ensemble, the voices' dripping soulful honey, the finger-popping grooves, and the funky-fresh dance floor ambience.

My brother the masses don't know what's good That's why!!!!!!
Akera Reese
Going mainstream would ruin them!
Jason Mathews
They don't make bad albums. I really never understood why they weren't bigger over here...
Bootney Farnsworth
