Every Day
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

It's evident that he misses her deeply and is counting the days until he can see her again. The repetition of "every day" emphasizes the consistency of his feelings and his yearning for her doesn't waver. In the verses, he reminisces about how they used to have fun and kiss, and these memories bring a sense of comfort but also sadness as he can't experience them in the present moment. The chorus serves as the climax of the song as he professes his love for her and begs for her attention while he's away.
This song is relatable to anyone who's been separated from a loved one, whether it's due to distance or circumstances. Neville's smooth vocals and soulful delivery capture the emotions behind the lyrics, making it a timeless classic. The simple structure of the song, with its repetitive melody and lyrics, makes it easy to sing along to and can be a comforting reminder of love that endures.
