[Verse 1 - intimate, soft, velvet croon, piano and bass only] Today is another sad day, the Lord knows the sun don't shine the same. I lost her in a time of chaos, When the world went dark and nothing stayed. (nothing stayed) [Chorus - full orchestra swells, emotional but controlled] Far away from our old home, Oh, how this road is long and cold. But one day we will meet again, That promise is all my soul can hold. And I pray everyday, for God's sake, i pray so hard (his promise is all my heart can take) [Verse 2 - add brushed drums and strings] I'll take this day by day, With this heavy heart I bear. I remember the beautiful old America, The summer light in her hair. We'd sit out on that summer evening, When love was all we knew (that's all we knew) [Bridge - soft, almost spoken] We shed tears through the struggle we never chose, Oh Mama, we never chose. And every night I lay here lonely, I hope she hears my call, I hope she hears my call... [Chorus - bigger, with the backing vocals] Good memories I won't forget, (No, I won't forget) Her laughter in the kitchen, Her head upon my chest. May God bring her back, Oh may God bring her back to me. [Outro - slow and stripped down] Today is another sad day, But I pray everyday, I'll take this day by day, Till God brings her back to me. (bring back the good times, the sweet old America)
