"Here Comes the Night"

I found a couple things to write about in these lines from "Here Comes the Night":
Every morning my love is reborn, and it lives me with all day long
When things start to change, it takes a little rearranging, but our love goes on and on
"Every" is sung with three syllables, giving a sense of number.

"Long" and the second "on" are sung with melismas (I think both are C C A G), and these give a musical sense of duration or continuation.
