about

I am indebted to the late and great Otis Redding for providing me the inspiration for this song. The opening guitar riff drips with the flavour of his classic, "I've Got Dreams to Remember."

It's a soul song to help me stay grounded.

lyrics

It's not the storm
That makes my heart to sway.
It's steady like an anchor.
So, tell me why I feel this way.

It's not I don't love you.
That would be untrue.
It's just that some peace of mind,
Is long overdue.

One day,
I only have one day at a time,
And when I get weary
I need to know that you'll be mine
It's like my arms are
Still warm from your tenderness
But you're gone, you're gone,
Now my arms are starting to miss
Your love, your love,
And I'm starting to miss you too.
I wish there was something that I could do.

It's not for a lack of better words.
I can speak just fine.
Maybe I've been fooling myself.
Maybe loving just takes some time,
But be gentle, babe,
Be gentle with this heart of clay,
Easiest to break
When it's out on display.

One day,
I only have one day at a time,
And when I get weary
I need to know that you'll be mine
It's like my arms are
Still warm from your tenderness
But you're gone, you're gone,
Now my arms are starting to miss
Your love, your love,
And I'm starting to miss you too.
I wish there was something that I could do.

Won't somebody lend me a hand?
Won't somebody try to understand me?
But then the good Lord reaches out,
And He tells me.

Oh, that "One day,
You only have one day at a time,
And I know you get weary,
But you need to know that you are Mine,
And I know your arms,
Are still warm from her tenderness,
But she's gone, she's gone,
I know your arms are starting to miss
Her love, her love,
But just know that she's missing you too.
Know that she's missing, missing you too."
