More Than Yesterday Less Than Tomorrow
Robert Baitinger, a songwriter from Germany
For songwriters who dont sing or perform it is extremely hard to make ones mark in the music business because they dont have a platform to present and promote their work. This is more or less the situation that I, Robert Baitinger, a songwriter from Germany, have been confronted with since I started writing songs in 1978.
My idea is to complement my songwriting capabilities with the "helping hands" of excellent artists, musicians and innovative producers. In the age of the internet it has become easier to communicate and collaborate with musicians and producers all over the world. I am utilizing the internet and pursuing the idea of a conceptual studio band with a frequently changing lineup of artists. I call this project the "Rob B. Project" since I supply the melodies and/or lyrics of a song and other musicians/producers/songwriters contribute their talents and skills to make it come to life.
Story behind the song
I wanted to write a love song and say that I'm more in love with every day that passes. I started with: Everyday I love you more - More than the day before. I thought, that's a good start, how can I escalate that and came up with: I love you more than yesterday, less than tomorrow. I fell in love with that last line. It became the hook line of this song.
Lyrics
More Than Yesterday Less Than Tomorrow
[Verse]
Woke up this morning, saw you there
Golden sunlight in your hair
Another day, another way
To love you more than yesterday
[Pre-Chorus]
Every breath, every touch
Still, it never feels like enough
You're my heart, you're my home
The only love I've ever known
[Chorus]
Everyday I love you more
More than the day before
But not as much as I will
Cause tomorrow I'll love you more
With every breath we take, every dream we follow
I love you more than yesterday, less than tomorrow
[Verse]
We've braved the storms, chased the tide
Still, I find you by my side
Time moves on, but love won't fade
You're my forever, my always
[Pre-Chorus]
Every breath, every touch
Still, it never feels like enough
You're my heart, you're my home
The only love I've ever known
[Chorus]
Everyday I love you more
More than the day before
But not as much as I will
Cause tomorrow I'll love you more
With every breath we take, every dream we follow
I love you more than yesterday, less than tomorrow
[Bridge]
If love's a river, then let it flow
Wider, deeper as the seasons grow
Through every season, through joy and sorrow
I'll love you more with each tomorrow
[Chorus]
Everyday I love you more
More than the day before
But not as much as I will
Cause tomorrow I'll love you more
With every breath we take, every dream we follow
I love you more than yesterday, less than tomorrow
[Outro]
With every breath we take, every dream we follow
I love you more than yesterday, less than tomorrow
I love you more than yesterday, less than tomorrow
