Every Day 1918

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 13 Sep 2005

I'm so lonely, I'm so blue,
my honey babe I long for you,
I never thought that I'd miss you,
the way I do, that's true, my dearie,
sun won't shine, the flow'rs won't bloom,
and all the world seems full of gloom,
my heart's aching, almost breaking:
'Cause I'm all alone.

Ev'ry day, I want you ev'ry day,
ev'ry day my poor heart for you
just burns, yearns,
since you've gone,
why I'm all wrong,
I don't seem to get along,
that is why, I sigh
and cry for you ev'ry day,
you're away, my honey
can't you see,
I need your sympathy, fluently
all day long for you I crave, rave,
what I need is love like yours,
you've the brand of love that cures,
I miss the bliss your kiss brings ev'ry day.

Ev'ry day, I want you ev'ry day,
ev'ry day my poor heart for you
just burns, yearns,
since you've gone,
why I'm all wrong,
I don't seem to get along,
that is why, I sigh
and cry for you ev'ry day,
you're away, my honey
can't you see,
I need your sympathy, fluently
all day long for you I crave, rave,
what I need is love like yours,
you've the brand of love that cures,
I miss the bliss your kiss brings ev'ry day.

Can't believe, you mean to stay,
for some good news, I wait all day,
how could I know, you'd treat me so,
and go away;
I say how could you?
All you asked, I've done for you,
and just because, I thought you true,
you deceive me, and you leave me:
Like a broken toy.

Ev'ry day, I want you ev'ry day,
ev'ry day my poor heart for you
just burns, yearns,
since you've gone,
why I'm all wrong,
I don't seem to get along,
that is why, I sigh
and cry for you ev'ry day,
you're away, my honey
can't you see,
I need your sympathy, fluently
all day long for you I crave, rave,
what I need is love like yours,
you've the brand of love that cures,
I miss the bliss your kiss brings ev'ry day.

Ev'ry day, I want you ev'ry day,
ev'ry day my poor heart for you
just burns, yearns,
since you've gone,
why I'm all wrong,
I don't seem to get along,
that is why, I sigh
and cry for you ev'ry day,
you're away, my honey
can't you see,
I need your sympathy, fluently
all day long for you I crave, rave,
what I need is love like yours,
you've the brand of love that cures,
I miss the bliss your kiss brings ev'ry day.
