One of the finest of the Stax/Volt soul artists, he was, like Otis Redding, able to tell a story with great sincerity and flawless musicality. His song "You Don't Miss Your Water ('Til Your Well Runs Dry)" is a Memphis masterpiece.
Everyday Will Be Like A Holiday
William Bell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When my baby, when my baby comes home
Now she's been gone
for such a long time
ever since she's been gone,
she been on my mind
just about noon
she said, "Don't worry, I'll be home soon"
Everyday will be like a holiday
When my baby, when my baby comes home
I'll never have to worry
about sitting by the phone
when she gets here
I'll never be alone
She said she'd get here sometime today
I know when she gets here
She'll never go away
Everyday will be like a holiday
When my baby, when my baby comes home
Everyday will be like a holiday
When my baby, when my baby comes home

Everyday will be like a holiday

When my baby, when my baby comes home
When my love, my beloved returns home
Now she's been gone
My beloved has been absent
For such a long time
For an extended period
Ever since she's been gone,
Since my beloved left
She's been on my mind
I have been thinking about her constantly
I got a letter today,
Today I have received a message
Just about noon
Around twelve o'clock
She said, 'Don't worry, I'll be home soon'
She assured me not to worry, as she will come back soon
I'll never have to worry
I will never have to be anxious or concerned
About sitting by the phone
About waiting by the telephone
When she gets here
When my beloved arrives
I'll never be alone
I will always have her company
She said she'd get here sometime today
My beloved promised to arrive today
I know when she gets here
I am certain when my beloved arrives

Ahora se ha ido
Por un tiempo tan largo.
Desde que se ha ido
Ha estado en mi mente.
Recibí una carta de hoy
Sólo alrededor del mediodía,
Dijo no te preocupes bebé,
Estaré en casa pronto.
Cada día será como un día de fiesta.
Cuando mi bebé,
Cuando mi bebé llega a casa.
Nunca tiene que preocuparse
Acerca sentada junto al teléfono,
Cuz cuando llegue aquí,
Yo nunca, jamás, podrá estar a solas.
Él dice que va a llegar en algún momento de hoy,
Yo sé que cuando llegue aquí
Nunca jamás se irá.
Ahora cada día será como un día de fiesta.
Cuando mi bebé,
Cuando mi bebé llega a casa.
Cada día será como un día de fiesta.
Cuando mi bebé,
Cuando mi bebé llega a casa.
Cada día será como un día de fiesta.
Cuando mi bebé,
Cuando mi bebé llega a casa.
Cada día será como un día de fiesta.
Cuando mi bebé,
Oh, cuando mi bebé
Cuando mi bebé llega a casa.
Cada día será como un día de fiesta.
Cuando mi bebé,
Oh, cuando mi bebé
Cuando mi bapor regrese a casa.
Cada día será como un día de fiesta.
Cuando mi bebé,
Cuando mi bebé llega a casa.

At the time of me writing this, my grandmother passed away a few hours ago. A few months ago she let me hear this song and explained how much she loves it and how emotional it made her feel. Just listening and thinking of her now.
