Not a day goes by
Not a single day
You're not somewhere a part of my life
And I need you to stay
As the days go by
I keep thinking, when does it end?
That it can't get much better much longer
But it only gets better and stronger
And deeper and nearer
And simpler and freer
And richer and clearer

And no
Not a day goes by
Not a blessed day
But you somewhere come into my life
And you don't go away
And I have to say
If you do, I'll die
I want day after day
After day after day
After day after day
After day
As the days go by

I keep thinking, when does it end?
Where's the day I'll have started forgetting?
But I just go on
Sinking and sweating
And cursing and crying
And turning and reaching
And waking and dying
And no
Not a day goes by
Not a blessed day
But you're still somewhere part of my life
And you won't go away

So there's hell to pay
And until I die
I'll die day after day
After day after day
After day after day
After day
Till the days go by
Till the days go by
Till the days go by
Till the days go by
