Once A Day - Lyrics - George Jones

George Glenn Jones was an American musician, singer and songwriter who achieved international fame for his long list of hit records, including "White Lightning", as well as his distinctive voice and phrasing. For the last 20 years of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer. Country music scholar Bill C. Malone writes, "For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved." Waylon Jennings expressed a similar opinion in his song "It's Alright": "If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones." The shape of his nose and facial features earned Jones the nickname "The Possum."

When you found somebody new, I thought I never would Forget you for I don't think, I ever could But time has takin' all the pain, away Until now, I'm down to hurtin' once a day. Once a day, all day long And once at night from dusk to dawn The only part I wish you weren't gone Once a day, everyday day, all day long. --- Instrumental --- I'm so glad that I'm not like a friend I knew one time He lost the one he loved then slowly lost his mind He set around and cried his life away Lucky me. I've only cried once a day. Once a day, all day long And once at night from dusk to dawn The only part I wish you weren't gone Once a day, everyday day, all day long. Once a day, everyday day, all day long...
