Lyrics:

(Willie Nelson)

(Chorus)
I live one day at a time
I dream one dream at a time
Yesterday's dead and tomorrow is blind
And I live one day at a time

If you're surprised to see me back at home
You don't know how I missed you when I was gone
Don't ask how long I planned to stay, it never it crossed my mind
'Cause I live one day at a time

(Chorus)

(Guitar)

There's a swallow wingin' 'cross a cloudy sky
Searchin' for a patch of sun, so am I
Don't ask how long I'll have to follow him, perhaps I won't in time
But I live one day at a time

(Chorus)
