More Today Than Yesterday
Spiral Staircase Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I didn't notice what time it was
All I know is that I fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you
Every day's a new day in love with you
With each day comes a new way of loving you
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you
Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But, darling, not as much as tomorrow
Tomorrow's date means springtime's just a day away
Cupid, we don't need ya now, be on your way
I thank the lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger
And I always will be true
I know you feel the same way too
Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But only half as much as tomorrow
Every day's a new day, every time I love ya
Every way's a new way, every time I love ya
Every day's a new day, oh, how I love ya
The Spiral Staircaseโs song โMore Today Than Yesterday โ69โ is a beautiful and timeless love song that encapsulates the passion and excitement of falling in love. The opening lines convey a sense of timelessness and how love takes over, making the singer lose track of time and space. The singer didnโt care about the when or where, all that was important was the person he fell in love with.
The chorus of the song is the most iconic part as it repeats the phrase โI love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow.โ This line speaks to how much the love between the two people is growing with each passing moment, the idea that their love is constantly evolving and getting stronger, and that their love will continue to grow with each new day. The songwriter emphasizes the idea of the future being bright, with the lyrics โTomorrow's date means springtime's just a day awayโ indicating that their love is blossoming and that there is still so much more to come.
Towards the end of the song, the singer expresses how grateful he is for the love they share and how it continues to grow stronger every day. The songโs ultimate message is that true love never fades; it only grows stronger, and every day with each other brings new adventures and a chance to grow even closer.

My dad loved this so much that he used to leave the arm back on the record player so it just played continuously, he died in 1992 aged 55 and I can still see him dancing around to this in my mind and heart โค๏ธ
