Once a Day

Hank Locklin · Masters [2001]

(Bill Anderson)



When you found somebody new I thought I never would

Forget you for I thought then I never could

But time has taken all the pain away

Until now I'm down to hurtin' once a day.



Once a day, all day long

And once a night from dusk till dawn

The only time I wish you weren't gone

Is once a day, every day, all day long.

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 sat around and cried his life away

Lucky me I'm only crying once a day.



Once a day, all day long

And once a night from dusk till dawn

The only time I wish you weren't gone

Is once a day, every day, all day long.



Once a day, every day, all day long...
