Everyday
James Taylor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Going faster than a roller coaster.
A love like yours would surely come my way.
Everyday, seems a little faster,
All my friends, they say go on up and ask her.
A love like yours would surely come my way.
Everyday it seems a little stronger,
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?
Everyday seems a little closer,
Going faster than a roller coaster.
A love like yours would surely come my way.
A love like yours would surely come my way, Everyday.
Everyday it seems a little stronger,
Everyday it lasts a little longer.
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?
Like I long from you baby.
Everyday seems a little closer,
Going faster than a roller coaster.
A love like yours would surely come my way.
