“I Love You More Today Than Yesterday” by The Spiral Staircase may be the greatest “one-hit wonder” ever written. The opening horns are instantly recognizable and the simple lyric “I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow,” is about as simple and perfect a lyric as you’ll ever find for a First Dance. Plus, it’s a lot more fun and creative choice than yet another Van Morrison ballad.
I don’t remember what day it was. I didn’t notice what time it was
All I know is that I fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true, I’ll be spending time with you
Every day’s a new day in love with you
With each day comes a new way of loving you
Every time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wonder
And if all my dreams come true, I’ll be spending time with you
Oh I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow
Oh I love you more today than yesterday, but darling not as much as tomorrow
Tomorrow makes each springtime just a day away
Cupid we don’t need you now, be on your way
I thank the lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger
And I always will be true, I know you feel the same way too
Let me know what you think.
