Day By Day Theme Song Lyrics

Day by day, I’m falling more in love with you And day by day my love seems to grow There isn’t any end to my devotion It’s deeper, dear, by far than any ocean I find that day by day, you’re making all my dreams come true So come what may, I want you to know I’m yours alone and I’m in love to stay As we go through the years day by day

Behind the Music: A Family Classic

The Day by Day theme song is a soulful rendition of the 1945 standard, originally made famous by Frank Sinatra. For this late ’80s sitcom, the song was beautifully adapted by composer Robert Kraft and performed with heartfelt warmth by Clydene Jackson.

Set in suburban California, the show followed the Harper family—parents Brian and Kate (played by Douglas Sheehan and Linda Kelsey)—as they ran a daycare center out of their home. The lyrics, emphasizing growing devotion and shared dreams, served as a musical invitation into the relatable joys and challenges of their family life.

Though the series only spanned 33 episodes on NBC, the comforting melody of the theme song remains a standout example of ’80s sitcom charm, celebrating the “everyday moments” that tie a family together.
