WITH EVERY PASSING DAY
Theme tune from the TV Series "Upstairs, Downstairs" (1971-75)
(Faris / Green)


Pauline Collins - 1973


With every passing day I close my eyes and say
Here it comes, a happy ending, sending me on my way
It's just a game I play, dreaming my life away
Though I know my day is passing with every passing day

When I was naive, I wore my heart upon my sleeve
They told me love's a game that doesn't last for long
Then love came and showed me they were wrong
Love it seems reserves its rules for all the fools
 
There is one thing I've discovered
Little something I've uncovered
No one knows what lies around the bend
Just suppose my luck is on the mend
Hope is high, that is why

Daydreams that fly so far, melt all my fears away
Though I know my day is passing with every passing day
