(Wendell Mobley/Marv Green)
Woke up this mornin`, put the coffe on 
Opened up the blinds and there was the sun 
Now, this ain`t just another day 
It`s the hardest one I`ve ever faced 
Minute by minute, tear by tear 
If I can hang on and just be strong 
Tommorow will be here 
The hurtin` won`t end, it`s only just begun 
But I`ll get over you, if I can make it through 
Day one 
I`ll jump head-first into my work 
If I stay busy, maybe it won`t hurt 
Anything to forget you`re gone 
And keep the time from draggin` on 
Minute by minute, tear by tear 
If I can hang on and just be strong 
Tommorow will be here 
The hurtin` won`t end, it`s only just begun 
But I`ll get over you, if I can make it through 
Day one 
Someday I`ll look back on it all 
And thank God my heart survived the fall 
Minute by minute, tear by tear 
If I can hang on and just be strong 
Tommorow will be here 
The hurtin` won`t end, it`s only just begun 
But I`ll get over you, if I can make it through 
Day one 
Minute by minute, I`ll be hangin` on 
But I`ll get over you, if I can make it through 
Day one 
Yeah, I`ll get over you, if I can only make it through 
Day one
