ONCE A DAY
Recorded by Connie Smith
Written by Bill Anderson

CAPO: ON 1ST FRET  KEY: F#  PLAY: F
When you [F] found somebody new
I thought I [C] never [C7] would
[C] Forget you, for I thought then I [F7] never [F] could
But time has taken all the [F7] pains a-[Bb] way
Until [F] now, I'm down to [C] hurtin' once a [F] day.

CHORUS
Once a day, all day [Bb] long
And once a [C] night, from dusk till [F] dawn
The only time, I wish [F7] you weren't [Bb] gone
Is once a [F] day, [Bb] ev'ry-[F] day, [C] all day [F] long.

I'm so glad that I'm not like a girl l knew one time
She lost the one she loved, then slowly lost her mind
She sat around and cried her life away
Lucky me, I'm only cryin' once a day.

CHORUS

Once a day, ev'ryday, all day long.
