When I saw your face and the tears as they fell down
When I saw that old oak tree, the leaves they hit the ground
When I first realized that life would have its end
When I saw the tears fall down the day you lost your edge
I don't know what to say
Cause I can't explain the reasons
I can't explain the seasons
And things will come and go
Though we'll stay on our knees and bow our heads to pray
There's a number to our days, and that's all right with me
Each one is a gift, and brings us such great things
Like the crisp of the night, or a sparkling champagne sky
For these I give my thanks, for these I wipe your eyes
I don't know what to say
Cause I can't explain the reasons
I can't explain the seasons
And things will come and go
Though we'll stay on our knees and bow our heads to pray
We live for this moment
One day at a time
We live for this moment
You'll know that it's right
We live for this moment
One day at a time
We live for this moment
You'll know that it's right
You'll know that it's right
You'll know that it's right
I don't know what to say, cause
Cause I can't explain the reasons
I can't explain the seasons
And things will come and go
Though we'll stay on our knees
I don't know what to say, cause
Cause I can't explain the reasons
I can't explain the seasons
And things will come and go
Though we'll stay on our knees and bow our heads to pray
There's a number to our days
