Ev'ry Day 1917

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

Since you've gone

That is why
I sigh and cry for you
ev'ry day you're away, my honey
Can't you see

Fluently, all day long
for you I crave, rave,
what I need is

you've the brand
of love that cures,
I miss the bliss
your kiss brings
