One Day At the Time

Have I told you lately that I love you?
It’s the simple truth dear that keeps us alive
On less than minimum wage to keep the hunger at bay
Have I told you lately that I need you?
None of us could make it all alone
When the welfare’s cut down
And the factory’s moving out of this town
Living hand to mouth, barely getting by
Taking one day at the time
Have I told you lately that we’re slipping
Below the breadline and out of love
I spent my last wage on vodka and gin
To keep us warm til' the spring
Living hand to mouth, barely getting by
Taking one day at the time
From the day we met ‘til the end of the line
We’ll take one day at the time
I know you’re lonesome, you’re lonesome just like me
Ain’t hard to see
There’s a limit to what hearts like ours can take
Before they break
Have I told you lately that I miss you?
This house is empty without your love
Have I told you lately that I miss you?
This house is empty without your love
I get to work from time to time
And somehow I’m getting by
Living hand to mouth, barely getting by
Taking one day at the time
From the day you left, ‘til the day i die
I’ll take one day at the time
