Song To See You Through

(album: What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits - 1974)

Sometimes I can't see past a day
I know I'm growing tired and I feel it, yeah
And the song that I sing when the notes begin to ring
It's hard for my head to get into the melody, yeah
Day to day, I tell you
Day by day
I see faces all around me
When they start to smile
I just stop for a while
And I say baby let me love you

A small town store with an old wooden floor
The old man inside selling dry goods
Has a smile on his face
Don't you know that's hard to replace
I bet he's gonna live to be a hundred, yeah

Day to day, I tell you
Day by day
I see faces all around me
When they start to smile
I just stop for a while
And I say baby let me love you

Summer is hot and the winter is cold
People all doing just what they're told
It's too bad, it's too sad
Thinking for yourself is a hard thing to do
Well, don't you know they're depending on you
To see them through, yeah
To see them through
It's the only thing you can do
You know you got to see them through

Shining my light like a candle so bright
Show me the way to my future, yeah
With your hand on my face
Take me far from this place
Honey, I'll be the key to your heavenly door
Hear me, baby, calling to you now
Don't you know now baby, well, they're counting on you

See me, baby, reaching for you
For you, reaching out for you, baby
Don't you see me reaching out for you
Hear me, baby, hear me calling to you
Don't you know, baby, that I'm counting on you
To see me through
