Any Day Now
Aaron Neville Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One of these mornings
I'm going away
Any day now
I'm going to Heaven to stay

I don't know how soon
Maybe morning, night or noon
But I'm going to see the Father
And by His side to stand

There'll be no sorrow, no sadness
Just only complete gladness
But any day now, I know that I
Know that I am going home

Then I'll shout Hallelujah
And give praises to His name




Pray any day now, I know that I
Know that I am going home

One of these mornings
At some point in the near future


I'm going away
I'm going to die


Any day now
It could be at any time


I'm going to Heaven to stay
I believe I will go to Heaven after I die


I don't know how soon
I don't know exactly when

Mom Rev : Bob Dylan wrote this powerful, spiritual, gospel-influenced song in 1967. The Band released it in 1968 on their first album (phenomenal ensemble musicians in their own right, and Dylan’s band of choice to play with on tour). Perfect song for Aaron Neville, in many ways.
