Song To See You Through - The Doobie Brothers

Tom Johnston

Sometimes I can't see past a day

I know I'm growin' tired and I feel it, yeah

And the song that I sing when the notes begin to ring

It's hard for my head to get into the melody, yeah

Day to day, I tell you

Day by day

I see faces all around me

When they start to smile

I just stop for a while

And I say baby let me love you

A small town store with an old wooden floor

The old man inside sellin' dry goods

Has a smile on his face

Don't you know that's hard to replace

I bet he's gonna live to be a hundred, yeah

Day to day, I tell you

Day by day

I see faces all around me

When they start to smile

I just stop for a while

And I say baby let me love you

Summer is hot and the winter is cold

People all doin' just what they're told

It's too bad, it's too sad

Thinkin' for yourself is a hard thing to do

Well, don't you know they're depending on you

To see them through, yeah

To see them through

It's the only thing you can do

You know you got to see them through

Shinin' my light like a candle so bright

Show me the way to my future, yeah

With your hand on my face

Take me far from this place

Honey, I'll be the key to your heavenly door

Hear me, baby, calling to you now

Don't you know now baby, well, they're countin' on you

See me, baby, reachin' for you

For you, reachin' out for you, baby

Don't you see me reachin' out for you

Hear me, baby, hear me callin' to you

Don't you know, baby, that I'm countin' on you

To see me through
