Lyrics:

(Bill Anderson)

When you found somebody new
I thought I never would forget you
For I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pains away
Until now I'm down to hurtin' once a day.

Once a day, all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day, every day, all day long.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm so glad that I'm not like a man I knew one time
He lost the one he loved then slowly lost his mind
He sat around and cried his life away
Lucky me, I'm only crying once a day

Once a day, all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day, every day, all day long.

Once a day, every day, all day long...
