Step By Step
Annie Lennox · Other Songs - Annie Lennox
Bit by bit
Stone by stone yeah
Brick by brick
Step by step
Day by day
Mile by mile oooh
Now don't you slip away
Don't you go too far
'Cause when I close my eyes
I know who you are.
You are the dark emotion
That makes me hold my breath
Just like the silent water
Upon the ocean's depth.
Don't you slip away
Don't you go too far
'Cause when I close my eyes
I know who you are.
It's just the fear of falling
That makes my lose my grip
It's just the fear of falling
That makes my fingers slip.
Step by step
Bit by bit
Stone by stone yeah
Brick by brick
Step by step
Day by day
Mile by mile oooh
Go your way
Baby don't give up
You've gotta hold on to what you've got
I said baby don't give up
You've gotta keep on moving, don't stop, yeah
Just like a new excursion (I know you're hurting)
Upon an open road (I know you do)
I've got the will to take me (I know you're hurting)
Just where I want to go (don't let the bad thing get to you)
C'mon baby keep moving on
C'mon baby keep on
Keep up...
Step By Step - Annie Lennox
Annie Lennox's 'Step By Step' stands as a defining track from her early solo career, blending her distinctive vocal style with the synth-pop and new wave sounds prevalent in the late 1980s. The song showcases her ability to merge pop sensibilities with a more mature, reflective tone, characteristic of her work during this transitional period. Released alongside other notable singles like 'Why' and 'Money Can't Buy It', the recording highlights her evolution as a solo artist beyond her fame with Fairport Convention. Its enduring appeal lies in its melodic structure and Lennox's emotive delivery, which has cemented it as a staple in her discography and a touchstone for fans of the era's British pop music.
