Everyday

(from the original musical “Playing the Bill”: sung by the young romantic lead Johnny)

My heart springs awake,
It's dreaming only of you,
Leaving my life to fate,
I'm dreaming will it come true?

Holding you near seems a hopeless longing,
It's true,
Still there's you, only you.
And I can't help thinking maybe if my heart
Could say the words you'd love me too.

Every day,
I'll see the promise in your eyes
And I'll know every day I must have love at last
Or my love will die.
Every day,
I'll keep believing and I'll find my way.
Every day,
Dreams come true,
Why not you?

Having you near makes all I wish for come true.
With or without you here,
I'm thinking only of you.
Suddenly clear,
This eternal longing breaks through.
Now there's you,
Only you.

And I tell myself I'll find a way
To make the most of every day with you!
I want every day to live the promise in your eyes,
And I want every day to know that love will last
And that love is mine.

Every day there's more believing and seeing the way.
Every day, Every day,
I need you!
To chase the shadows from my life,
And I want only you to hang the stars in place
In the velvet night.

In every way you fill this heart
That's been calling for you.
Every day,
In my way,
More of you.
