Every Day

Written to the tune of Stephen Sondheim's "Every Day A Little Death" which Diana Rigg sung brilliantly in the 1977 film of 'A Little Night Music'.

Every day a brighter life

In the mornings, in the noons,

In the dresses, in the shoes,

In the knives and in the spoons.

Every day a little smile

On the lips and in the eyes,

Every laugh that kills the strife

And livens living for a while

Brings a greater, brighter life.

Give a joyous, wondrous whoop, and you’ll start the fun.

For a little spark of life means it all!

Watch your family all cheer.

Is the night already here?

Life’s a stimulating business-

Don’t you say?

Singing music, playing games, dancing in the halls

With the company of your neighbours, and your peers,

And you hope to set a trend;

Let the music never end.

An exhilarating business,

Isn’t life?

Ah, yes!
