Everyday

Phil Collins · Love Songs - A Compilation... Old And New [2004]

I got lost, couldn't find my way

And I guess there's nothing more to say

Love can make you blind, make you act so strange

But I'm here and here I will stay



So everyday I cry (everday...)

Yes everyday I fall (everyday...)

Do you ever wonder why

why I love everything about you



But everyday I say I'll try

to make my heart be still

'til then every way there is to cry

ourselves to sleep we will



It picked me up, knocked me off my feet

I've got no way to explain

Still I love you, love you, love you but this fire inside

Will never see the light of day



So everyday goes by (everday...)

And everyday I fall (everyday...)

It makes me wonder why,

My life's worth nothing without you



But everyday I say I'll try

To make my heart be still

'cos every way there is to cry,

Ourselves to sleep, we will



You'll never know, no, no, no, no, no

You'll never know just how close we were

You'll never know, no, no, no, no, no

You'll never know

No you'll never see



(instrumental break)



The book closes and we try to forget

But I know that things won't change

How we feel, how life goes on

And that seems so strange



And so the light fades away (everyday...)

Try, try, try as I may (everyday...)

I can't stop thinking about you

It seems my life's worth nothing without you



But everyday I say I'll try

To make my heart be still

'til then every way there is to cry,

Ourselves to sleep, we will



Everyday, everyday you know I try so hard

Everyday, everyday it gets a little harder



(repeat...)

Everyday - Phil Collins

Phil Collins' "Everyday" stands as a defining track from his 1985 album *Face Value*, showcasing his evolution from pop-rock to a more polished, synth-infused sound that would characterize his later work. Released during the height of his solo career, the song exemplifies the era's production style, blending rhythmic precision with melodic accessibility. While often associated with his earlier hits like "In the Air Tonight" or "Another Day in Paradise," "Everyday" demonstrates his versatility as a songwriter and performer, capturing the optimism and energy of mid-80s pop music. The recording remains a staple of his discography, reflecting his ability to craft anthems that resonate across generations while maintaining a distinct personal voice within the genre.
