one step at a time
That's how it's gotta be from now on
And the reason or rhyme
for packing up or carrying on

Inch by inch is a cinch
Yard by yard is much harder
Life without you baby is
Harder
Life without you baby is hard

Is the moon going to shine?
The moon's a piece of cake this time
One step out of line
Across my fingers it's a lucky sign

Inch by inch is a cinch
Yard by yard is much harder
Life without you baby is
Harder
Life without you baby is hard


You know the whole affair can be
Simply
Settled right from the start
if we both see
there's no chance if we dance in the dark
lose our way and we can't find a spark
take one step any time
it's easy
ready get set off your mark

One step at a time
Ain't committing a crime
or parking where I don't belong.
