this is a song Greg Pappas wrote for his belated father...
This music was offered at Indaba by Richie Girencko, a marvelous musician from Russia. Greg Pappas from Spain jumped on board with the lyric in honor of his late father, and gave it a tremendous sing! I'm the bgv girl following the arrangement Rich put together.

A
(what genre is this?)
DAY BY DAY
When the sun has set
when the twilight's glow turns cold
as the shadows grow
I feel the earth so tired and old
A familiar sound
takes me back to a better time
a memory out of reach
in some corner of my mind
It wasn't always so
the present seemed to last forever
we knew it wouldn't end
but we knew wrong
But that's the price we pay
as we drag on day by day
it's not that time runs fast
it's that our memory's swept away
Day by Day
it's like an endless record skipping
reminding me
that you're gone and you are not returning
we can't stop the clocks
there's no turning back the page
except to leaf through what we were
what we did and all these things that made us
Day by day
day by day goes by
Memories
shifting with the tide
As I raise my hand
and wonder what to do
will we ever fill
this emptiness left by you?
And though the image blurs
and though these memories try so hard to hide
there's a part of you
that never leaves my side
It wasn't always so
the present seemed to last forever
we knew it wouldn't end
but we knew wrong
But that's the price we pay
as we drag on day by day
it's not that time runs fast
it's that our memory's swept away
Day by Day
it's like an endless record skipping
reminding me
that you're gone and you are not returning
we can't stop the clocks
there's no turning back the page
except to leaf through what we were
what we did and all these things that made us
