ONE DAY AT A TIME
(Joe Babcock)

Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton - 1970


DOLLY:
Life has dealt us our fair share of pain along the way
And many dreams have withered on the vine
PORTER:
But dreams are all such fleeting things and happiness is now
BOTH:
We'll just live our lives one day at a time

PORTER:
In all the stormy weather love has always seen us through
Happiness is knowing that you're mine
DOLLY:
Why worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow may not come
BOTH:
We'll just live our lives one day at a time

BOTH:
This one thing I'm learning you take life as it comes
Each day is just a gift, so don't be blind
DOLLY:
Tomorrow may bring gladness
PORTER:
Or a little bit of sadness
BOTH:
We'll just live our lives one day at a time

(Instrumental Break)

BOTH:
We may not have a fortune making plans to change the world
We may leave little marks in life's design
But as long as we're together every hour is filled with love
And we'll just live our lives one day at a time

BOTH:
This one thing I'm learning you take life as it comes
Each day is just a gift so don't be blind
DOLLY:
Tomorrow may bring gladness 
PORTER:
Or a little bit of sadness
BOTH:
We'll just live our lives one day at a time
We'll just live our lives one day at a time
