Pretty girl, when you're tossed you turn.
And all I needed was a way to learn, one day at a time.
You wanted years you could later recall.
You shake and tremble with the aftershock, one day at a time.
What's left of a prize possession, we'll cash out in another dimesion
Only banking on the world, still spinning high
In the palm of my hand.

And I'll fly, get about in my getaway van.
We're fine, hear me out, I'm a miracle man.
And I won't say anything, I'll keep a secret till I die.
And we'll fly, I'll re-live it one day at a time.

A stranger guided me into the night.
A revelation turned black to white, one day at a time.
You were falling for the words he wrote,
But I was busy looking out below, one day at a time.
An opportunity, a valuable lesson
For what I'm worth at a dime-a-dozen.
The wedding bells, more appealing on the second chime,
Play an opening song, and I'll keep it up...

We'll fly, get about in my getaway van.
We're fine, hear me out, I'm a miracle man.
And I won't say anything, I'll keep a secret till I die.
And we'll fly, I'll re-live it one day at a time.

Pretty girl with the broken heart,
I saw the future but I went too far.
Here's to taking in my last breath...

We'll get about in my getaway van.
We're fine, hear me out, I'm a miracle man.
And I won't say anything, I'll keep a secret till I die.
And we'll fly, I'll re-live it one day at a time.

Aim my getaway van at the sun.
And we'll find I'm a miracle man on the run.
And I can't see anything cause I'm living in the day I died.
And we'll fly, I'll re-live it one day at a time.
One day at a time!
