Let me love you one day at a time,
and please love me that very same way.

We may never learn all there is to know about love,
but every day together will teach us a little more
about ourselves and the special kind of happiness
we can bring to each other.

One of the best things you've helped me learn
is that love starts with being honest,
speaking straight from how we really feel.

I like how we've opened the doors and windows
of our lives and invited each other to come in,
look around and get acquainted,
and the more I'm with you, the more at home I feel.

Let me love you one day at a time.
Why talk about "always" and say things
we're not sure we mean when we can talk about today
and mean exactly what we say?

Lets think of each sunrise as a fresh start,
a brand-new beginning, and try to fill every day
with as much love as it can hold.

I know you're not always going to be exactly
the same person Sunday through Saturday,
January through December, and neither am I.

We both need laughing times and crying times
and times for every other mood in between.

The important thing is that you can be
the kind of you that feels most natural
and that I can be my favorite kind of me.

That's what makes us so comfortable together.
It's also what keeps us from taking each other
too much for granted.

Let me love you one day at a time.
Let's not wonder how long love will last
but how beautiful we can make it grow.

Lets give our best to each other
but let's never expect miracles of our love.
There's no need to, the reality of you and me
is better than all the impossible dreams
and fantasies I've ever imagined.

Being with you is feeling proud, blessed,
grateful for each hour we share.

Let me love you not according to any how-to-book
or by someone else's set of rules,
but simply for who you are and how you are with me.

And please love me, not for what I ought to be,
or for what I might be molded into,
but for what I am, here and now.

Don't expect me to be someone all good and all giving,
someone who could never disappoint you,
someone too right to be real and too perfect to be me.
I'm just as human as anyone I know,
and very thankful that you are too.

Let's try to remember that love means keeping
in touch with each other's thoughts and feelings,
listening not just to words,
but to the emotions behind them,
seeing not just the smiles and frowns,
but the hurts and pleasures that cause them.

Let me love you one day at a time, starting today.
Let's have the courage to try to change whatever
needs changing about us and the wisdom to know
what should never be changed.

Let's not worry about what went wrong yesterday.
Let's help each other make today as right as it can be,
believing in ourselves and in our ability to handle
what ever tomorrow may bring, and trusting that this
love we share will continue to grow stronger as the
future years unfold one beautiful day at a time.

If You Ever Leave Me When I fall you're my place to land, I lose my touch you're my hands, the one I hold on to. If you run out of reasons to try, I'll love enough for both you and I, I'll be the one you can run to. I'd rather go through any pain love puts us through then to spend one day without you by my side. If you ever leave me will you take me with you? If you're ever lonely I wanna be lonely too. My home's beside you no matter where you may go. My love's inside you even more than you know. In a world of anger and lies, I find peace in your eyes, a flame in the darkness. And through all space and time, till every star refuses to shine, you know where my heart is. I'd rather go through any pain love puts us through then to spend one day without you by my side. If you ever leave me will you take me with you? If you're ever lonely I wanna be lonely too. My home's beside you no matter where you may go. My love's inside you even more than you know. And I can't remember life without you, the way it used to be, feels like a million years away. Hold me till the angels sing, tell me every little thing, promise me forever from this day. If you ever leave me will you take me with you? If you're ever lonely I wanna be lonely too. My home's beside you no matter where you may go. My love's inside you even more than you know. (sung by: Barbra Streisand & Vince Gill)
