Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everyday, it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey, hey
[Verse 2]
Everyday, it's a-gettin' faster
Everyone said go ahead and ask her
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey, hey
[Verse 3]
Everyday seems a little longer
Every way, love's a little stronger
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me
[Verse 4]
Everyday, it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey, hey
[Verse 5]
Everyday seems a little longer
Every way, love's a little stronger
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me
[Verse 6]
Everyday, it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey, hey
[Verse 7]
Love like yours will surely come my way
