Every Day
Aaron Neville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh how I'm dreaming of the day
That I'll be home soon
And every day along about one
Oh how I remember how we used to have fun
And every day along about two
And every day now along about three
When I'm dreaming of a day that I'll be free
And every day along about four
But I cry, whoa I cry, till I can cry no more
And every day along about five
I'm writing you a letter with a tear in my eye
And every day whoa just about six
Whoa how I remember how we used to kiss
And every, every, every day now
Oh how it reminds me of you
Whoa I want to tell you, please listen to me
Cause I love you, love you, I love you
The song "Every Day" by Aaron Neville is a heartfelt ballad about longing for home and the memories of a love that was left behind.

The repetition of this pattern emphasizes the routine and monotony of the singer's life, while also highlighting the consistency of his love for the person he left behind.
The song begins with the singer dreaming of the day when he will finally return home. The use of the word "dreaming" is significant, as it suggests that home is merely a distant fantasy that he can only hope to attain. This feeling of longing is echoed in the next verse, where the singer reminisces about how he and his loved one used to have fun together.
As the time of day progresses, the singer's emotions become more melancholic. By two o'clock, he is consumed with loneliness and feels lost in a "world so blue." However, even in his darkest moments, he continues to dream of a day when he will be free and able to return to his loved one. The repetition of this desire in each verse shows the deep longing that he feels.
As the day draws to a close, the singer's emotions become more intense, and he begins to cry. This pain is palpable in his voice as he sings about crying until he can cry no more. The final verses of the song return to memories of his loved one, and he writes a tearful letter to them. The song concludes with a heartfelt declaration of love, underscoring the powerful emotions that he feels despite being so far away.
Overall, "Every Day" is a moving and relatable song about the pain of separation from home and loved ones. The simple structure of the lyrics and the repetition of key phrases create a sense of routine and routine longing that will resonate with many listeners.
