Lyrics:
[Verse 1] Every day, it's a-getting closer Going faster than a rollercoaster Love like yours will surely come my way A-hey, a-hey-hey [Verse 2] Every day, it's a-getting faster Everyone said, "Go ahead and ask her," Love like yours will surely come my way A-hey, a-hey-hey [Chorus] Every day seems a little longer Every way, love's a little stronger Come what may Do you ever long for true love from me [Verse 1] Every day, it's a-getting closer Going faster than a rollercoaster Love like yours will surely come my way A-hey, a-hey-hey [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] Every day seems a little longer Every way, love's a little stronger Come what may Do you ever long for true love from me [Verse 1] Every day, it's a-getting closer Going faster than a rollercoaster Love like yours will surely come my way A-hey, a-hey-hey [Outro] Love like yours will surely come my way
